CTV/City arrived late in the process, but wrote a half-decent piece.

Several protesters also criticized Canada’s response, arguing Ottawa is complicit through its long-standing sanctions against Venezuela.

“I’m horrified that the U.S. administration is violating Venezuelan sovereignty, and the Canadian government is complicit,” another demonstrator said. “They’ve been complicit in the sanctions against Venezuela. The statement from Anita Anand today was very vague.”

‘Hands off Venezuela’: Demonstrators rally in Toronto following U.S. seizure of President Nicolás Maduro

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto Saturday afternoon, condemning a military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.

Just wrapping the Toronto protest at the US consulate.

Or we were until the cops came closer for no good reason.

Tonight's action saw multiple sets of cops slow down and roll past the protest with their windows open, scoping what was happening.

Somehow they kept deciding they didn't want to be in THAT photograph: Christmas eve, arresting some Anglican clergy, putting baby Jesus in the evidence bag.

The protest was over what the City of Toronto has done to the churchyard of St. Stephen-in-the-Fields. To prevent unhoused people from sleeping there, they have put massive cement blocks all over the yard, AND fenced it in.

Anyway, despite the City making many threatening noises all day, turns out the cops didn't want any part of it, especially when they say how much media was here.

We definitely had an overkill number of legal observers present given the police aversion to getting out of their vehicles.

Today's action was part of the Day of Action Against Indigo.

Heather Reisman, CEO of Indigo funnels Canadian taxpayer dollars to fund the Israeli ethnic cleansing campaign through the HESEG Foundation.

It's all part of the same awareness campaign that brought you the Indigo Kills Kids posters (image 4; Sept 2024) and website that was targeted by Indigo as "copyright infringement" even though — as they discovered during the injunction hearing — they had never actually registered "Indigo Kids" in any way.

This year's posters (image 3) are much more subtle and have stayed up a LOT longer.

Last night's disruption at the Landlord Awards Ceremony (ridiculous fucking idea) at the MTCC, was masterful.

Landlords don't "create" housing.
They steal it.

Imagine a bunch of parasites patting themselves on the backs for doing that.

Finally on the way home.

Excessive cops, busting out all the toys.

Violent criminal stalkers (plural). Adam Lee Wasserman AND Mitch Hancock both have pending assault charges.

Used my newly-realized status as a decoy, thanks to the stalker who didn't turn up, to draw cops away from the second protest and keep them away. By the time they figured out what was happening, it was TOO LATE.

No arrests (though we thought the angry cops might be about to take out their frustration on someone).

I wonder how long it'll take them to realize they're being played when they follow me.

Tonight a bunch of shitty white dilettantes are basically doing a re-enactment of the Berlin Conference of 1884/5 — except they're divvying up Palestine instead of Africa as a whole.

4 Israelis are debating a 2 state solution at the notoriously racist and pretentious Munk Debates. The "Debates" are a series of events where elitist whites justify why they deserve to have everything.

Mostly no one cares about their mental masturbation, but once in a while they manage to plan something SO EGREGIOUS that it warrants a turnout, like tonight.

The most entertaining possibility of the night is the potential arrest of war criminal attendees.

Rich whites. Zionists. Colonialism. War criminals.

It promises to be a shitshow.
