I’m confused- isn’t AIM the American Indian Movement? Regardless, who is the intended audience for this image? What is the intended outcome? Will it be a good one or a bad one?

Why Are @OccupyBayStreet Such Rabid Haters?
O you who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness to the earth! ~Amos 5:7 One of the more interesting characters I’ve met since I’ve been in Toronto is the ‘street preacher’ Doug Johnson Hatlem from @OccupyBayStreet. This is a man who identifies as a Christian- yet, long before he had ever met me he …

Chris Hedges And Occupy Debate “Black Bloc” Violence
All I’ve been asking for is the same as Chris mentions in this video: Transparency, Honesty, and a Rigid adherence to nonviolence. People who are suggesting we support Black Bloc and Diversity of Tactics are clearly working for the 1%. Occupiers! When will you finally understand this! Please, realize this now- we need to move on and start …

A Challenge For People Who Support Black Bloc Tactics
I’ve been researching & writing about Black Bloc tactics for six months now- ever since someone released the video of Harsha Walia viciously attacking Derrick O’Keefe after the ‘Heart Attack’ incident at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. I was disgusted by Harsha’s take in this video- her use of racism, sexism & classism seemed like a wholly inappropriate …

Occupy Toronto Has A Black Bloc Problem…
When I arrived at Occupy Toronto I was told that “there are no Black Bloc at OT.” Being someone who gives the benefit of doubt, I accepted this- that said, it didn’t take long before I saw this was not true…

Has OPSEU’s Large Yurt (formerly of Occupy Toronto) Been Torched By an Arsonist?
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 …

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 …
