Breaking: No One Is Illegal Anarchists Break Down Gate At Montreal Immigration Holding Centre! (feat. Alex Hundert)
The aftermath of today’s No One Is Illegal protest…
This afternoon a group of anarchists gathered together in suburban Montreal at the Laval Immigration Holding Centre. They were there to protest their (radical) views that Canada should be a nation with no borders and no prisons. The protest was led by the infamous No One Is Illegal (NoII)- an organization that openly advocates the use of violence at protests.
The event was advertised as a family friendly protest, with the troublesome statement “Bring your kids! Bring food to share at the picnic!“. But of course, whenever an organization like NoII sets up a protest, it’s the last place one would want to take their children- doing so is likely a surefire way to have them taken away. This protest was no exception.

Activists Tampered With Rail Signalling At The December Sarnia Blockade (feat. Mike Roy & Ron Plain)
Mike Roy and Sid Ryan at an Ontario Common Front meeting in Toronto…
Back in December a group of indigenous people from the Aamjiwnaang First Nation joined forces with members of Ontario’s anarchist & unionist community and blocked a train line. Many of the ‘usual suspects’ showed-up at the blockade including Sakura Saunders, Dave Vasey, Lana Goldberg, and Ken Lewenza of the Canadian Auto Workers.
The blockade has been over for some time now- but, today, blogger UndercoverKity made an interesting discovery. It appears that not only did the protesters blockade the rail line, but they also tampered with the signalling. And not only were they dumb enough to do this, but they actually filmed and posted the evidence on YouTube for the whole world to see their crimes. It goes without saying that nobody ever accused the anarchist community of being smart.

More Racism From Occupy Toronto’s Livestreamers! (feat. Davyn Calfchild & Cathy Walker)
When Occupy Toronto’s Dee Shanger (a.k.a. Captain Yarr) introduced Davyn Calfchild’s First Nations broadcast on Thursday, he announced it as the “longest running show on Livestream”. This may, or may not, be true- Shanger isn’t known for having an affinity for the truth. But, if he’s looking to boast about their achievements, it’s quite likely they can claim being the most racist Livestream.
This week Davyn (a.k.a. Davin Ouilet) decided to continue his pattern of overt racism by ending his show telling racist jokes. After he shared his jokes his wife Cathy Walker warned him that he shouldn’t be telling them because “a certain blogger may be listening”. No Cathy, one shouldn’t avoid telling racist jokes because you might get caught- they shouldn’t be told because it’s wrong to do so.

Recently Busted London Ontario Anarchist Collective Promotes Eco-Terrorist Arson! (feat. The Indignants & Olivia Chow)
Two weeks ago the police in London, Ontario raided members of The Indignants– an anarchist led “media collective” with close ties to Sid Ryan, the Ontario Federation of Labour, and the several Ontario unions. As expected, their supporters complained that they were facing “police oppression”- and, a group of the usual suspects showed up at the courthouse to support them.
The thee people who were arrested for (allegedly) vandalizing a brick wall in a London alleyway and later complained that their arrest was over something petty. But, when you look into this group, it becomes apparent that people inside of it have been promoting criminal activity. Today they posted the above video on their Facebook which gives us further evidence of this…

Militant Anarchists & Unionists Help Toronto Police Officer Buy His Wife A New Jet-Ski! (Satire)
Officer John B Lucky counting his May Day overtime…
NOTE: As it says on the title, this article is satire, many of the quotes are not really attributed to those who were quoted. (the obvious ones)
Back in Mid-April Toronto police officer John B. Lucky was feeling pretty low. Summer was coming, and he wanted to buy his wife Jane a special birthday present- a brand new Jet Ski. He knew he was in trouble, on the last day of the 2012 season her Jet Ski started spraying oil all over her new swimsuit. He’d just bought himself a new ride. When asked about the incident, Jane stated that “he could have given me his old one, but sold it to the dealer before he even offered”.
His plan was simple, save enough money for a down payment on July 1st so it can be delivered for her birthday today, on August 2nd. But things didn’t go very well, he didn’t get enough overtime in April and it looked like he’d be two or three hundred dollars short. But then, on the week of April 28, the stars aligned. Thanks to a booking snafu at his precinct he got a couple back-to-back shifts, earning some great overtime. But even then he didn’t have enough- he said he was worried that his wife “is going to kick my ass”.
But, then, something magical happened. A group of people from anarchist, Maoist, unionist and socialist obedience cults banded together in solidarity of Officer Lucky’s dilemma- conducting a special fund-raiser for hard working cops across the city!

[UPDATED] OCAP’s Co-Optation Of Sammy Yatim’s Killing, And How His Family & Friends Came Out As Heroes…
Sammy’s relations asking the crowd to calm down…
UPDATE: It’s probably no surprise to see that OCAP’s sponsor, Sid Ryan’s Ontario Federation of Labour has released a statement on Yatim’s case, continuing the pattern of exploitation.
___________________________________
On July 29th a young man named Sammy Yatim was shot and kiled by police while standing inside of a Toronto streetcar waving around a knife. It’s impossible to know the details of what happened without an investigation, but the initially released videos didn’t look very good. Most people who’ve watched them now question if something was done wrong- including Yatim’s family and friends.
Shortly after the videos went viral, the union affiliated Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) did something entirely transparent and predictable- publishing a call for an anti-police rally to protest the killings. This, of course, brought in hoards of self-promoters, anti police extremists, angry loners and militant anarchists- OCAP is a magnet for those who want to riot against the police. But, 90% of the crowd were good people who simply came to express their sorrow over an undeniable tragedy.
Situations like this have the potential to be highly volatile. This march was no exception, OCAP’ers are legendary for their raw hate of all things police. And, they’re well organized entryists- when facing their prey, they’ve often been successful appropriating other people’s causes. But this time things were different, Sammy Yatim’s friends and family were too strong to succumb to OCAP’s weaknesses.

Occupy Toronto’s Davyn Calfchild Gets Racist With A Black Cop!
Davyn Calfchild performing a sacred cigarette break…
Tonight, as the protesters were attacking police officers in front of the Toronto Police Service’s 14 Division, our good friend Davyn Calfchild (a.k.a. Davin Ouilet) joined in with a double helping of racist comments. He began by yelling at the police saying “You can’t f##king own our land forever!”. A couple minutes later he yelled out an incredibly racist remark to a black police officer:
“He must have done that to his own people back in Africa!”
There was no way to determine if the cop came from Africa, he spoke fluent Canadian English. Really, there was no excuse- what Calfchild said to the cop was incredibly racist. A black woman beside him look horrified when someone behind him laughed at his statement. As she should have been- what he said was totally wrong.

It Looks Like Toronto’s Anti-Gentrification Battle Is Heating Up… (Feat. Sigrid Kneve & OCAP)
Sigrid Kneve of OCAP on Occupy Toronto Livestream…
George Street is one of the most depressed parts of Toronto. Situated to the east of downtown, it’s the home to a number of shelters and rows of abandoned houses. Drug addicts roam the streets, with dealers waiting on the sidewalk to fulfil their addictions. It’s a lot like the worst parts of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
Besides the dealers, there are a couple other groups who benefit from the squalor. First there are the unionised employees who get well-paid jobs in the shelters that are conveniently close to the city centre. George Street has also been home to a number of squats that have housed some of the most dangerous and militant anarchists in Toronto. So, when the city announced they were planning to gentrify the neighbourhood, it was inevitable this would be followed with some serious conflict.
