Inspired by the mobilizing on the West Coast, organizers across "Canada" have begun awareness-raising efforts. Building on the call from the West Coast for anti-capitalist and anti-colonial resistance to the Olympics, some organizers affiliated with the "People's Global Action" Bloc (PGA-Bloc) in Ontario and Quebec have begun mobilizing around "Resistance2010", linking anti-Olympics efforts to organizing against the G8 and SPP, and the day-to-day systems and institutions of power and oppression they represent.

D'un bout à l'autre de ce qu'on appelle «le Canada», plusieurs militantEs ont commencé une campagne de sensibilisation. InspiréEs par l'appel de la côte ouest à une résistance anti-capitaliste et anticoloniale aux olympiques, quelques militantEs faisant partie du réseau de l'Action mondiale des peuples (bloc-AMP) au Québec et en Ontario ont commencé à mobiliser autour de la campagne « Résistance 2010 », dans l'optique de relier les mouvements d'opposition au G-8, au PSP et aux Jeux Olympiques en dénonçant les systèmes et institutions de pouvoir et d'oppression qu'ils représentent.

Common Cause is an Ontario anarchist organization that wants to see anarchists active in every town, neighborhood and workplace across Ontario. We have just published the fifth issue (August / Sept 2008) of our paper, Linchpin, online at http://linchpin.ca.

OTTAWA, ON- Aug 6th, 2008- what began as a fairly balanced description of the historical record of the creation of Israel in Palestine, quickly became yet another bipartisan speech of the Liberal party. Strongly criticizing Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party’s actions in regard to Israel/Palestine, Liberal Party External Affairs critic Bob Rae failed to provide any concrete actions his own party intends to take. “It was the emergence of modern Zionism that would set the stage for modern conflict,” He began. His proposed solution to this roughly century-long conflict is “recognition of two states, new governance for Jerusalem, limited right of return, and generous funding of a Palestinian state.” Contradicting himself several times throughout his speech, Rae paid lip service to the social justice movement while adding to the pile of anti-Iran rhetoric.

In the wee hours of the morning of August 4 anarchist settlers used a ketchup bottle to apply red metal paint to a statue of John Galt in front of City Hall. August 4 was Guelph’s first ever John Galt Day. The town was awash in festivities and celebrations honouring John Galt and the plan he developed for the founding of the city of Guelph back in 1827. But who is this John Galt character?

"On the night of May 29th, the night before the supreme court of kkkanada looks at passing a bill that would illegalize the presence of natives at construction sites in Brantford Ontario (furthering the control of indigenous people and the colonization of their land), we attacked the office (at 803 St. Clair west) of MPP Michael Bryant. The office windows and door were smashed and jars filled with paint were thrown inside. This was a small message of our discontent and contempt for this minister of aboriginal affairs. The only reason he still has an office to clean is because it is below residential apartments. Way to hide behind human shields you sneaky bastard!

The mayor of Brantford Ontario Canada, Mike Handcock has requested military forces to silence impending Native protests. The issue is the development of sovereign land owned by the Six Nations. Though non Native documents foretell of an agreed land acquisition, Native history disputes this land deal dating back to January 18, 1841. According to Six Nations, back then the chiefs were coerced, deceived and intimidated into signing away the land in question. This has been common practice by settlers since time immemorial. Now, the local government of Brantford wishes to raise the stakes by implementing the use of Canadian military forces.

Two Warriors from the Native Youth Movement (NYM) have just completed a 20
stop speaking tour against the 2010 Winter Olympics planned to be held in
unceded Coast Salish Territories (Vancouver/Whistler, british columbia,
klanada). They travelled through Mohawk, Annishinabe, Algonquin, Seneca,
Cayuga, Penobscott, and Wampanoag Territories. They went to Sharbot Lake and
heard of the Struggle against Uranuim Mining, to Tyenindega and heard of the
Struggle against the continued invasion into their territory and occupation
to close down a rock quarry, to Kanawake and heard about the european
invasion surrounding their community, Akwesasne fighting Home Land Security
invading their Territory trying to lock down the fake boarder that runs
through their community and to Six Nations and there fight against illegal
development on their land.
