Anonymous Submission to North Shore I was recently speaking with a comrade who is one of the individuals wrapped up on charges in London, Ontario. They’re alleged to have played a role in shutting down a weapons defense conference that involved private and state actors, and a number of manufacturing companies designing or building the tech currently being used by Israel against Palestinians and those in Lebanon – but also Read More …
The Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair is back October 3 at the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre! Anarchists, anti-authoritarians and those curious about anarchy are invited for a day of workshops, discussions, and tables featuring zines, art, books, and info on local projects.

Today a rally was held at Hamilton city hall in response to a proposed data centre in Hamilton’s industrial area.
The data centre is part of a much bigger redevelopment of the former Stelco lands on Hamilton’s waterfront, being managed by Slate Asset Management. Not too much is known about the data centre(s) yet – potentially, this could be referring to a proposed AI-driven supercomputer that will supposedly be used for academic research, and could also include a much larger hyperscale data centre on the same site. What’s known so far is mostly based on Slate’s limited communication about the project, and from information gathered on Slate’s energy connection requests to Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator.

Casual conversations amongst comrades led to a reading group, then this research was assembled as a offering for one of the later readings. folks then encouraged the presentation be shared at the local social space, and then the hamilton anarchist bookfair.
We wanted to get our friends on the same page about what the next few decades are likely to bring as per the most current scientific consensus as a basis for shared priorities and preparedness in our projects/lives.
We built a profile of what climate change could like in our geographic region (hamilton-gta) by the year 2050; We wanted to flesh out what “we are all screwed” actually looks like, to the best of our ability.
It’s important to keep in mind that this catastrophe doesn’t negate or replace other struggles. Fascism, colonization, war, disease, technological oppression, etc are all still on the horizon, or already here and unfolding. Rather, the specific challenges faced by a changing climate will:
gradually develop independently of all these other crises
pile onto on our existing struggles and make enduring them harder, potentially much harder, than many folks might be attuned to. Read More …

On Tuesday November 25, 2025 the London Police Services – in conjunction with several other police services – carried out four simultaneous pre-dawn raids on individuals throughout Ontario that they allege to have been part of resistance to “The Best Defense Conference” held in London, Ontario on October 21, 2025. The conference attracted participants and attendees from the canadian forces, arms manufacturers, and defense contractors – all of whom spent considerable time in the rain and hotel lobby when over 100 people took to shutting down the conference. Reports from the day outline that people successfully used a variety of tactics to disrupt – from blocking areas with their bodies and the creative use of paint to physically securing entrances with u-locks, destroying card readers, building barricades, and drilling sliding doors closed.
As of this writing, a total of six individuals have now been arrested and charged in relation to this disruption, some with their electronics and other items seized. London Police Detectives continue to try and harass or intimidate others into providing information with repeated calls and door knocks, inviting individuals to come in for an interview to “distance themselves from any criminal acts”.

Last friday, April 25, some anonymous individuals targeted the home of McMaster University’s provost and future president Susan Tighe with vandalism. Media reports describe rocks thrown through windows and threatening messages left in paint following the university board of governors passing a new investment policy that does not include divesting from Israel. The media did not specify that Tighe’s university-owned home near campus was the target. Read More …

A group of around 50 people marched around the jail, setting off fireworks, throwing paint bombs and shouting our new years greetings to our neighbours who are locked up. The Barton Jail is a horrific place where every day people experience degradation, dehumanization, and neglect at the hands of COs, administration, and a Read More …
