http://youtu.be/KrevZTxJLV8 In my very long article on the ruckus at the University of Toronto, I mentioned a professor from York University professor David McNally. In the article I called for him, and others, to take leadership in helping fix Toronto’s problem with group political bullying. Well, less than 24 hours later- anti-nuclear anarchist Zach Ruiter …

There’s a global controversy brewing around the University of Toronto right now. It all started on November 16th when a group of radical feminists, anarchists, and some students (who said they were sent by their Women’s Studies class) showed up to blockade people from entering an auditorium. On the other side of the situation was …

Update: Anarchist Ashleigh Ingle may have a twin! It’s been brought to my attention that the person I identified as Ashleigh Ingle may have been an assistant to Jonah Schein. If so, there’s an incredible resemblance- right down to their purple framed glasses! I’ve changed the article to remove that information- will write an …

Basically, they cowered to the threats of the Ontario Public Services Union …

Considering how much time the unions spend talking about repression, it amazes me to see OPSEU at work these days. Above is a picture of Silvanna Petersen, local 330 president, donning her full stormtrooper- the equipment that OPSEU recommends that teachers use in the classroom! It kind of leads one to question- shouldn’t they require drug tests …

Our good friends at the Ontario Public Service Employees Union are at it again! Continuing on their ‘at all costs’ battle to win their contract negotiations, they are refusing to give up on their inhumane pursuit to get approval for using martial arts equipment against autistic children!

I like George Brown college. I lectured there about the Occupy movement a couple of months ago- the students were smart, inquisitive, and turned on to the issues of social activism. So, when I heard they were having their first Caserolle March, I ran out of the house to cover tonight’s event!
