This is what happens when a minority at Occupy Toronto decide that free speech is no longer tolerable. I particularly like the part about how it is wrong for me to criticise Black Bloc– says it all…

Open Letter to Sakura Saunders
Dear Sakura,
I heard you talking at today’s GA- you wern’t very nice to me I must say. And, you made a lot of ad-hominem accusations about me- but not a single one of them was backed with something tangible.
What’s up with that Sakura?
You also said that my article about Barrick Gold was ‘full of lies’. Can you please quantify what those ‘lies’ were? If I got something wrong, I’d like to make a correction.
Or, were you full of it?
Oh, and is it true that your father is a banker? And, is he as rich and successful as Antonin’s dad?
Thanks,
Greg Renouf

Has OPSEU’s Large Yurt (formerly of Occupy Toronto) Been Torched By an Arsonist?
One of the yurts that was 'donated' by OPSEU
I remember reading about Occupy Toronto’s yurts back when they were “donated” last year. One part of me was envious- where were Occupy Vancouver’s yurts! That said, it made sense to donate them to Occupy Toronto, as they definitely needed it for the city’s colder weather!

ProtestBarrick.Net: An Example of How Soros Could Profit From Activism
UPDATE: There was a mistake in this story, it turns out my sources were wrong, ProtesBarrick didn’t run their funding through TIDES (though Saunders has worked for a number of TIDES funded organizations). The money actually runs through the Mennonite Church of Canada.
Today I’m going take a momentary break from discussing the Robocall rallies and will shift into a different discussion about George Soros & the TIDES foundation– a look into how Soros could make large profits from the activities of environmental activists!

All’s Quiet on the Occupy Front
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.
Some of the police who followed us
We had a mix of police on bicycles, horses and some cars. At one point, just off Younge St, it seemed they were ready to kettle us- however, nobody was arrested. They were ready for it though, had a paddy wagon trailing us for a couple of hours…
The march ended at St. James Park at around 8pm. There was a sense of kinship and collective relief as we gathered in the Gazebo.
We then walked down to Cloud Gardens, the location of our new occupation after our eviction from Osgoode Hall. It is a lovely space- grass, flowers, nice lighting and a white noise in the background from a waterfall.
All’s well that ends well…

It’s Time to LeadNow(.ca) and MoveOn(.org) from the Robocall Rhetoric
There were a couple of things that truly shocked me at the initial Robocall Rally in Toronto. First, was the inclusion of Sherif Azir, a man who was supposedly an organizer of the “Arab Spring” in Egypt (but who doesn’t appear to be very Egyptian to me).
The second shock was when Mathew Carroll of Leadnow.ca introduced Azir, first saying: “It kind of feels like spring, don’t you think? Maybe a little bit of a Canadian Spring?”
