Update: There was no riot, I’ll share the video later… There’s a demonstration planned at the Toronto Eaton Centre Mall at 6pm today, I’ve heard of a few occupiers who may be going- and, considering how 366 people have signed-up on the Facebook page, its likely there could be at least 100 people showing up. …

Tonight was the night that the anarchists converged on West Toronto- much to the dismay of the local residents. It all started a couple of weeks ago when Zach Ruiter, an anarchist, started publicising the fact that there’s a uranium processing plant at Lansdowne & Dupont.

Many good-hearted members of Occupy Toronto were tricked on September 17th. The put a lot of hard work into preparing a rally for the anniversary of the Occupy movement.

Considering this, I’m wondering if any of them can see the irony in their article titled Auto Manufacturing Workers at a Crossroads. Did they actually print …

UPDATE: The Case of The Hairy Legs! A story just came out a short while ago about some women who are initiating a G20 lawsuit because they were profiled by the police because they had ‘hairy legs’. There was a quote in the article that immediately caught my attention: According to the lawyer, the provincial …

You can tell a man’s integrity by how he handles things when he has been exposed making a mistake. Alfred Webre made the mistake of partnering with Kevin Annett, and he wasn’t very happy when I exposed that to the world. So, rather than take the honourable route and apologise for his mistake, Webre has …
