Creepy Marxists, cretinous cultists, Jew-haters and other assorted fanatics harangue Immigration Minister Kenney

What would normally be a quiet Sunday evening in a central downtown section of Toronto a five minute walk from Lake Ontario was unsettled by a mob of dingy, hostile would-be revolutionaries. A smattering of about two hundred and fifty professional protesters comprising local anti-capitalist, Trotskyite, anti-Israel  and New Democratic Party-linked Marxist groups converged on Toronto's downtown Royal York Hotel to protest against Immigration Minister Jason Kenney.

This was distributed at the protest

The occasion was an irresistible opportunity of expressing hostility towards two of their most hated objects, the Conservative government and the Jewish state, as Kenney was being honored by Israel's Haifa University.

According to a leaflet they distributed, the loud, unhappy throng was there "in outrage." There was nothing illuminating in that disclosure, since outrage, anger and resentment are the only emotions such miserable, envious malcontents ever seem to channel.

The mainstream media, either through laziness, their own disdain for Harper's Tories, or sheer ignorance of the issues they are covering (which is common for Canadian journalists) whitewashed the event as a group of citizen protesters.

Agents of state oppression ensuring protesters are
protected from oncoming traffic

In fact, many if not most of the protesters were non-citizens, like Marxists Syed Hassan and Sakura Saunders, attached to the lunatic extremist organization No One is Illegal, which wants to do away with all immigration regulations, while providing full tax-funded benefits for anyone who steps foot on Canadian soil. They and the other groups and individuals at the protest were anything but a cross-section of typical Canadians. They represented extremists including members of the Black Bloc, anarchists, radical Trotskyites, pro-regime Iranians, Mohawk Warriors, pro-terrorist Palestinian advocacy groups, Omar Khadr supporters, the violent anti-capitalist group Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) and an array of others.

Down with Capitalism! Hooray for terrorists and terror states!

Blogger Laura Rosen Cohen has catalogued the vast cornucopia of organizations involved in the disturbance, which would be impressive were it not for the fact that the radical fanatics involved  keep creating three or four new groups for every new cause they approach, with almost all of them having cross memberships. Indeed there were almost as many protest groups "endorsing" the gathering as there were actual protesters.

Some of the chants at the protest the consensus media did not report included  "one, two, three, four, this is class war!" " the only solution is revolution,"  and "F**k the police!" The latter was all the more ironic and preposterous as the police were ensuring the safety of the bedraggled grousers from traffic while protecting their right to democratic dissent as the protesters were insulting the  "agents of state oppression."

The cacophony from the usual suspect groups with their hodgepodge of idiotic grievances had its expected effect; no clear message was conveyed other than their hatred for Stephen Harper and Jason Kenney.

The one unfamiliar addition to the assembly was a group of Romas, who were shunted to the rear of the protest by the organizers.  They were there to express anger at Kenney's refusal to view Hungary as an oppressive country from which Roma need refuge. I spoke with one who was carrying a bizarre sign that said "Our ashes are mingled" and showed Nazi concentration camp ovens used to cremate murdered inmates. The point, the fellow told me, was that Jews and Gypsies suffered together from racism in Europe and they should be standing together in solidarity here in Canada.

I inquired about the Roma groups attendance at the rally, since I had heard they had dissociated themselves from it, as it was filed with anti-Semitic groups. His response suggested the Roma group had been duped by the organizers of the protest. He had said they were planing to stay away because they were pro-Israel and did not want to be interpreted as anything else, until the Roma were convinced by the organizers that Jewish groups were attending. It was inconceivable to the Roma man I spoke with that Jews could be anti-Israel. While I understand his perspective, it could also be inconceivable that some Jews would have collaborated with the Nazis.   Yet some did, just as groups like the so-called Independent Jewish Voices and the Monty Pythonesque-sounding United Jewish People`s Order collaborate now with groups that support the murderers of Jews.

No One is Illegal organizer Syed Hassan

I met up with Greg Renouf, who operates the blog GenuineWitty at the demonstration. He has expended innumerable hours investigating and exposing the radicals involved in the socialist far-left in Canada. He has found links between the radical fanatics in the Black Bloc and No One is Illegal that ties not only to unions like Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), but to the highest echelons of the federal New Democratic Party.

Renouf feels that their behaviour resembles that of cult members, who lacking in intelligence and analytical skills are left only with the ability to mindlessly chant slogans.

He observed that the fools we were watching were incapable of accomplishing anything of substance. He is right, but it appeared to me such events aren't actually meant to accomplish anything other than to give the leaders of such gatherings an excuse to exercise their leadership and maintain the personality cults they have established for themselves.

More worrisome was the involvement of pro-regime Iranians, who evidently are attempting to make inroads with the native community and prepare terrorist action in the event of a war with Iran.

While the misfits and cretins that comprised the protesters outside the Royal York are unlikely to ever affect change through discourse, events in the recent past have proven that it only takes a handful of such miscreants to make a devastating impact through terrorism and for that, Canadian need to remain vigilant.

A handful of protesters infiltrated the Royal York by disguising themselves as normal human beings.



More soft-soaping by the MSM:

Canada's "Old Left" still pushing the vapid, irrelevant Occupy Movement

From Greg Renouf's  blog Genuine Witty:

..They’re the people who hijacked the Occupy movement and changed the focus from being about problems with the banks and corporations to focussing on issues like identity politics, and promoting the NDP. In Canada, one of the commonalities of the Activistocrats is that most of them have connections to Judy Rebick- one of the queens of this country’s old-left…   

Rebick is a well-known feminist, and a professor at Ryerson university. Rebick is also deeply connected to the NDP- including radicals like CAW economist Jim Stanford, Former NDP MP (and shoplifter) Svend Robinson and radical NDP  MP Libby Davies. Rebick also has very tight ties with Alex Hundert, a currently incarcerated criminal who was a ringleader for the violence at Toronto’s G20- and, with Harsha Walia (who was at the G20 wearing a mask) an advocate for the violence on Vancouver’s streets during the 2010 Olympics.

Rebick was also the founder of Rabble.ca, a radical online publication funded by the unions. Rabble is famous for it’s lock-step support of old-left policies- they’ve been caught publishing a number of outright lies. Rabble has also labelled the vandals from the G20 as ‘political prisoners’, and has given a lot of support to Black Bloc anarchists. Rabble is also well-known as the slander machine of the old-left, I know this from experience after they published (and quickly retracted) two stories slandering your’s truly.

When it comes to the radical old-left, and violent anarchists, Judy Rebick is the Kevin Bacon of both worlds…

More domestic terrorism from the Canadian Looney Left? The New Socialist has no problem with the morality of violence as long as it's an effective tactic

"if we remain too fixated on the optics of staying ‘peaceful’ – even in the face of unparalleled state violence, such as was witnessed during the G20 Summit – how can we realistically hope to advance social change?" Ali Mustafa


In an article in the New Socialist titled "Where Do We Go from Here? The G20 Summit, Black Bloc, and the Canadian Left" one Ali Mustafa is concerned about the direction the Canadian Left is taking and its continued inability to "radicalize" the masses.

If routine demonstrations consistently fall short of the radicalism that many among us would like to see, it is not necessarily due to any lack of political will on the part of organizers but more likely because the objective conditions at present are simply not conducive to do much else. Yet if we remain too fixated on the optics of staying ‘peaceful’ – even in the face of unparalleled state violence, such as was witnessed during the G20 Summit – how can we realistically hope to advance social change? The overall failure of the Canadian Left to meaningfully engage the broader public (and oftentimes each other) inevitably limits the range of ‘tactics’ that will be available to us. As a result, the basic goal of the Canadian Left so far has been not so much social change but simply looking to avoid the loss of any more ground politically (the labour movement being a particularly clear example of this troubling trend).



By contrast, whether targeted property attacks amount to a morally legitimate ‘tactic’ is not the question per se but rather, under the given balance of forces, are they at all strategically effective?

I came across this article through a link at rabble.ca. Of course radicalization might become even more difficult if the assessment by Linda "Paranoid" McQuaig is correct that "the media already blasts Canadians with a steady chorus of right-wing ideas" and it's going to get even worse when Quebecor launches its conservative news channel.
