Bottleneck: A Eulogy for the La Salle Causeway

Posted on

Anonymous Submission to North Shore Counter-Info Download printable PDF here Introduction On April Fools Day 2024, Kingston residents received some surprising news – the La Salle Causeway was suddenly “closed until further notice,” without explanation. The bridge – a busy economic artery which links the city’s downtown to the east end – had apparently been damaged during routine construction work and was now unsafe to use. A few days later, Read More …

Toronto Police Approaching People to be Confidential Informants

Posted on

Anonymous Submission to North Shore Counter-Info In case you missed it, Toronto Police have recently been attempting an old tactic against Palestinian solidarity organizers: soliciting arrestees to become confidential informants. While this isn’t a new tactic, the blatant and concerted attempt to conjure informants in community organizing spaces is. Writing this, I know of at least four separate individuals approached by police. Each approach has been similar: the individual is Read More …

How to Burn American & Canadian Flags

Posted on

Anonymous Submission to North Shore Counter-Info (PDFs linked below) We’ve updated this poster and included a version for our relatives in so-called Canada! The so-called “United States” and KKKanadian flags represent Indigenous genocide, African slavery, ecocide, & ongoing imperialist aggression throughout the world.

Why Misogynists Make Great Informants: New Zine Version

Posted on

“Why Misogynists Make Great Informants” is a classic text on how gendered and state violence go hand in hand. The existing imposed version for print distribution is pretty plain. We wanted to create our own version with some updated visuals and page numbers for distroists’ convenience. The PDF files also contain the full illustration, which can be turned into a 11×17″ poster at 300 DPI. Feel free to extract the Read More …

7th Annual Halifax Anarchist Bookfair August 31st, 2024 (Sept 1st rain date) 10am-6pm Location: TBA The face of coercive domination constantly shapeshifts, though at its core we know the foundation remains unchanged: capitalism, colonialism and centralized power.

Attack Scotiabank

Posted on

In London Ontario we attacked and will continue to attack Scotiabank, because of their role as a major investor in the Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, Elbit.

We believe that as long as the genocide in Palestine continues, not a single Scotiabank should see peace in this city and there will be no business as usual in our community.

May the flame that burns inside us, burn everything around us Read More …

Toronto: Flood For Rafah – Three MP Offices Targeted

Posted on

Anonymous Submission to North Shore Counter-Info North Shore editorial note: We decided to relay this communique despite its celebration of authoritarian pseudo-state militias. Solidarity with people in struggle doesn’t mean solidarity with its self-appointed vanguard. In the early hours of May 29th, people of conscience in Toronto descended upon MP offices across our city to send a message to Liberal Party genocidaires that Toronto will escalate for Gaza. In direct Read More …

Queers, Are You Ready for the Backlash? Preparing for a Poilievre Government

Posted on

I’ve always liked connecting with other queer people and talking politics, comparing notes on how we see society and what is affecting us. But lately, this has been feeling quite urgent. The countdown is on until we end up with a reactionary federal government — there will be a federal election no later than October 2025, and if current trends hold, there will be a Conservative landslide that brings Pierre Poilievre to power.

This is soon, but we can still do a lot in 17 months. It feels important to me that queers and their friends use this time wisely, to try to get organized and prepare for a backlash against our social gains of the last few years. Read More …
