I’ve just come back from tonight’s Toronto Casseroles march. The best way to explain it would be in the words of a person who I live with- leftovers. It appears that the people of Toronto are just not in the mood for a socialist revolution!

Urgent Call To Action To Protect Ontario’s Autistic Children From OPSEU’s Violence!
If you have been following my articles on how the Ontario Public Service Union (OPSEU) is suggesting the use of riot gear to ‘protect’ teaching assistants from autistic children, you are probably as I am at their cynical ploy to advance their contract negotiations.

OPSEU Walks-Out On Autistic Children!
Warren “Smokey” Thomas, Curiously Named President of OPSEU I wrote about OPSEU local 330’s labour dispute a few weeks ago, and how they were suggesting the use of riot gear against autistic children. Honestly, this was one of the most disturbing stories about the labour movement I’ve heard of in years. Well, it seems the …

Toronto Hydro Insults Torontonians!
I got a response about yesterday’s article on mental health stigmatisation from Toronto Hydro this morning. I must say, whoever wrote this has very little respect for our intelligence. Here’s my response to them…
