This is a great listen on the history and popularity of Swastika clubs in Toronto just before WWII.
The media and politicians did not condemn them and they were widely accepted.
History repeats itself: resistance to fascism in Canada will not be accepted by the mainstream. We are in for an uphill battle.

TORONTO REPORTBACK
Xenophobic asshats from "Canada First" were COMPLETELY OUTNUMBERED AND SURROUNDED by anti-fascists at their announced anti-migrant rally yesterday and forced to flee under police protection.
Maybe choosing a park with a well-known history of running fascists out, in the most ethnically-diverse city in the world, to hold an anti-migrant/pro-deportation rally was not a good strategic decision on their part?

Blackout Anniversary . . . AFTER Party !
Bickford Park, our final stop of the night,
And secret location of the 2025 Blackout Anniversary Party/Parade After Party.
New Model Circus Army and Ito were Poi/Fireperforming atop the baseball diamond.
There were other "Stages" throughout the park,
Music unplugged, of course it's unplugged, we celebrating the Great North American "Blackout" of 2003 after all,
but once I parked my butt around first base, that was good enough for me.

Blackout Anniversary Parade
After occupying the Bloor-Bathurst intersection where Koreatown, The Annex, and Harbord Village meet,
I paraded alongside Samba Elegua as we headed south on Bathurst Street and watched the Stranded Streetcar Driver dance while smiling at all of us who stranded him barely a hundred meters from his terminal destination of Bathurst Subway Station.
Toronto, my hometown, with all its big city challenges of late,
Even after 22 years, still has this Annual Blackout Celebration going for it!
