Neither Carrot Nor Stick: Still refusing to vote in the Ontario election

Posted on3 Comments

Submitted anonymously to Northshore Against all expectations, the Ontario provincial election is shaping up to be politically interesting. I don’t ever vote and I encourage others to also abandon any remaining faith in electoral democracy. If you don’t care much about which party leads the province, since you intend to oppose them no matter what, you don’t need to pay attention to the details of party politics. However, in Ontario, Read More …

From #HoMa to #HamOnt: The secret is to round up your loser friends

Posted on2 Comments

Submitted anonymously to MTL Counter-info These thugs are no better than the anarchists. Don’t they know the financial burden that their vandalism will have on the Tower’s landlord? Don’t they understand that boarded up windows will bring down property values in the neighbourhood around the Tower?? Engaging in this kind of violence just creates lawlessness, and legitimizes the destruction of private property. When we heard that the Tower got attacked, Read More …

Staying Solid Through The Flurry: An Anarchist Perspective on the Kirkendall Riot

Posted on4 Comments

Received as an anonymous submission. I wasn’t there on Aberdeen or Locke that night. I don’t know who was, and I’m not interested in knowing who was. I don’t necessarily think it was the most strategic or timely action in Hamilton’s history of resistance, but I certainly don’t condemn it. Far from it. I think it was brave, I think it was well-executed, and I think it was a meaningful Read More …

This post was made on A-News and reposted here by a person who turned out to be an undercover police officer. We leave it up as local history, but it’s a fake action carried out by a fake and predatory person. Posters and stickers have been distributed for an upcoming anarchist bookfair in Hamilton on March 3 and 4 2018. Why not have the pigs advertise the event for us! Read More …
