One of the most dishonourable people I’ve met through the Occupy movement (right up there with Dave Vasey, Sakura Saunders and Maggie Helwig) was an American who lives in Toronto named Doug Johnson Hatlem. If you were reading this site back in March you’ll remember him as the ‘street preacher’ who made-up a story that he had a …

Update: Lehrer has started having a temper tantrum, denies that he was there, and is threatening to sue me. If you read what Causepimps.ca have to say about him, this appears to be par for the course. I saw the guy with my own two eyes, and I talked with him. So, officially, it’s my …

One of the more controversial demonstrations that’s come out of the Idle No More (INM) movement is the Aamjiwnaang rail blockade. It began on December 24th when a group of people setup a camp on the middle of a rail track in Sarnia, Ontario. And, despite that Chief Theresa Spence and INM have called for …

I called into the nationally syndicated Roy Green show today on the Corus radio network. Catherine Swift was on from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. I shared my thoughts on how the Casseroles have been gradually hijacked by the Marxists & Anarchists. To my (happy) surprise, Swift agreed with me entirely! She then goes on …

Many years ago, back near the days of the Waffle, Kevin Annett joined a small, but exclusive, circle of Marxists called the International Socialists. Officially, Kevin has left this group and is no longer a socialist- that said, he has more connections to this group of Trotskyists than Trotsky would if he were still alive …

I knew I was really onto something when I wrote my first story on Sakura Saunder’s ProtestBarrick.net. It seems that I really hit a nerve- because, the next day, she dedicated the first-ever of the hijacked Occupy Toronto general assemblies to your’s truly! They should have called the meeting ProtestGreg.net! What an honour! Equally, it was a …

“Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder” ~Rumi Today was Toronto’s second Casseroles march- like last week, it began at Dufferin Grove Park. I arrived at 7:45pm and there was only a small crowd there. An important thing I learned today is that the best possible way to …

http://youtu.be/BkWOfOqS4Ms Someone I know in Vancouver posted this video on Facebook yesterday. It is an obvious piece of NDP propaganda- that said, it raises a number of interesting questions. It is also a perfect introduction to sharing some of what I have learned about the United Steelworkers union (USW) over the past few months…

A group of thugs invaded the Universite du Quebec a Montreal today. Spray painting the walls, invading classrooms and calling the students scabs for daring to go to classes- and, a couple of women were assaulted. What happened was like the early stages of a new Kristallnacht– how can we accept this kind of hooliganism in Canada?
