Hamilton: What Are We Fighting For?

Posted on2 Comments

Submitted anonymously to Northshore I rarely read fiction. I regret that truth and so every few months, when I get given a book of dystopian sci-fi or imaginative history, I stumble through it halfheartedly. I know that fiction has a lot to offer in terms of expanding our realm of possibility, of inspiring creation of new worlds. Someone near and dear to me once advocated for changing my reading habits Read More …

Hamilton: Notes on the Catering Class

Posted on

Submitted anonymously to Northshore So now sleepy little Hamilton has joined the likes of London, Greece, Paris and Hamburg, having recently been treated to a shortlived spree of public disruption and vandalism. To what do we owe this promotion? Are we really beset by the same woes as the great cities where such acts have become commonplace? Thanks to the ubiquity of market forces, we have all been excessively financialized Read More …

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 …

Hamilton: The Tower’s Statement on Recent Events

From The Tower, Hamilton’s Anarchist Social Centre, after a riot on Locke St Saturday, their windows smashed Sunday night, and then their door kicked in Tuesday night We’ve held off on making any public statements so far because it’s really not our desire to have conversations on the internet, such a toxic and alienating place. But having had our space attacked twice in the last couple of days, we feel Read More …
