I’ve been researching & writing about Black Bloc tactics for six months now- ever since someone released the video of Harsha Walia viciously attacking Derrick O’Keefe after the ‘Heart Attack’ incident at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. I was disgusted by Harsha’s take in this video- her use of racism, sexism & classism seemed like a wholly inappropriate …

All’s Quiet on the Occupy Front

By grenouf in Anti-Violence, Black Bloc, Canada, Occupy Movement, Occupy Toronto, Politics

We had a long march today against the police violence that happened to an Occupier one week ago. The crowd was a mix of Occupiers and a large number of Black Bloc. Despite a lot of tension, all ended up being peaceful. We had a mix of police on bicycles, horses and some cars. At …

By grenouf in Anti-Violence, Direct Actions, Occupy Movement, Occupy Toronto, Toronto Police Department

It all began on Friday afternoon when officers from the Toronto Police Department came to Occupy Toronto’s new occupation at Osgoode Hall. They told the occupiers that they must leave their space, despite the fact we had explicit permission from the property manager to stay there. In the aftermath, four occupiers were arrested- two of …

People, I’m worried about something. The more I hear about the upcoming May Day actions and General Strike, the more I get the feeling that something bad is going to happen. And, when I mean something bad- I mean violence. I started getting this feeling about a week ago, after I heard stories from people at …

While researching people who have registered to attend Harsha’s Ironic March Against Racism (she’s a racist herself) I came across David Murray, a recently elected NDP councillor for Pitt Meadows. I’m pretty confident that the people of his community would find Harsha Walia’s racist and sexist attitude to be as abhorrent as most of my …

A Letter to Hedy Fry About Harsha Walia’s Ironic March Against Racism

Hedy Fry is a Liberal Party MP from Vancouver- a highly educated and respectable woman who is originally from Trinidad & Tobago. I love her home country, beautiful beaches (especially Blanchisseuse!), and many lovely people. That said, there are some serious social issues there, many are race related. So, I can understand her reasoning for deciding …

The Most Offensive Thing I’ve Read All Day!

I expected to get quite a few attack dog responses to my launching the ThisWomanIsDangerous blog today. And, yes, I already knew the responses would be predictable. The legions of the Rabid Marxist Left tend to be that way when on a feeding frenzy. They typically have less self-control than a tank of hungry piranhas.
