... If yes, I need to get in touch asap to make sure she doesn’t worry or provide a full personal explanation. When she passed peacefully on the morning of Jan 27, there were copies of the recent days of the Toronto Star nearby, with the comics section pulled out to read ...
... Often my mom would ask me about something she read in the Toronto Star. She stayed totally up-to-date via that paper, until the end. During my various protest arrests, one of my crucial personal calculations was: Will this be in the Toronto Star? ...
... since we both wanted to read the front page section first, or maybe one of us misplaced a section we wanted to check out, or someone clipped out an article before the other could read it. I eventually moved out at 19, but I would have regular phone conversations & visits ...
... On previous visits, perhaps for the past 15 years, I noticed her scanning the obituaries and in memoriam sections, looking for people she might recognize. When I was a teenager living at home, my mom and I would often argue over the only copy of the Toronto Star ...
One of my last memories is this past Christmas, my mom lying back on the couch, reading the Star comics and doing a crossword, while I was on the other couch, flipping channels on TV, happy to be in her presence ...
My mother has had home delivery of the Toronto Star since 1973. I recall her, my entire life, reading that paper closely, on the kitchen table, or sitting on the living room floor, turning page-by-page, often using scissors to clip something ...

Thanks for writing. My main emotion these days, above all else, is gratitude and appreciation for my mom. She prepared me well. I take solace also that her passing was peaceful, at home, and she lived a long life. I also had a great visit with her at Christmas. Merci encore Philippe.

Saturday. Montréal. #FreePalestine #FromTheRiverToTheSea
Accomplices: Il y a vingt ans, aujourd'hui, toujours. ✊🏾
This year, I had some spare $ to spend, and always get pleasure supporting anarchist and community-based distributors. There is always a lot of free stuff too.
It was created by a local, creative, mischievous, punk genius.
Tomorrow (holiday Monday) in Montreal: An Anti-Fascist People's Picnic & BBQ, with activities for kids. Rendez-vous: 10am (arrive early), until 2pm at Parc Lafontaine. Everyday anti-fascism means, in part, taking up these spaces in our city, and by doing so, displacing the far-right & fascists.
... Respect and congratulations to the Constellation crew, and everyone else, involved in organizing and facilitating this event. Check out constellationmtl.net for the calendar of events that continue throughout May as part of the Festival of Anarchy. (fin)
... Those inescapable issues include solidarity with the people of Palestine and denouncing the ongoing genocide in Gaza; the housing crisis in Montreal; resisting the far-right and fascism; as well as collective care in the face of health crises and challenges, including the pandemic ...
... There was lots of great anti-authoritarian content, through books, zines, art, as well as workshops and discussions, including on important and inescapable subjects ...
"I appropriated the Bookfair." Some anarchist humour and critique from the (26th annual!) Montreal Anarchist Bookfair yesterday, part of the Constellation Anarchist Festival (@constellationfest.bluesky.social) ...
PS: Not an organizer, but sharing as an anarchist supporter.
This Saturday will be the annual Montreal Anarchist Bookfair, part of the Constellation Anarchist Festival (@constellationfest.bsky.social), and part of the Montreal May tradition of an Anarchist Bookfair & Festival that started in 2000, more than 25 years ago! For details: constellationmtl.net
Guess what? I understand Canada's political process. But, him coming in person, from the UK, speaks volumes, symbolically and practically (as opposed to the GG). Aside from re-affirming Canada's vassal status, the "King" doesn't quite have the same positive connotation in Quebec and elsewhere.
Prime Minister #Carney inviting this corporate-colonial welfare bum to give the key speech about the Canadian state's priorities is hardly an assertion of independence against #Trump imperialism. It just re-affirms that Canada is an artificial neo-colonial construct. #cdnpoli #NotMyKing
J'y serai pour faire une présentation sur la solidarité avec les migrants à l'ère de Trump et de l'extrême droite. Ces espaces d'apprentissage sont précieux et constituent des éléments essentiels de notre résistance contre les forces de l'oligarchie, du racisme, et de l'extrême droite.
Si vous êtes à Québec ou dans les environs aujourd'hui (samedi 5 avril), passez à ce teach-in organisé par le RÉPAC (Regroupement d'éducation populaire et d'action communautaire de Québec et Chaudière-Appalaches) avec le thème approprié et opportun : On ne panique pas, on s'organise! ...
Quand un fasciste vous signifie qu’il est un fasciste, croyez-le. C’est le seul moment où il ne vous ment pas.
Folks have been sharing this kind of info for years, but it needs to continue to be shared widely with friends & comrades in the USA. Part of an empowerment campaign to defend people's rights against ICE, and one part of the tactical arsenal to resist mass deportations: www.wehaverights.us
Leonard Peltier can go home! Last-minute commutation (not a pardon) by outgoing President Biden. As @ndncollective.bsky.social reminds us, this is the result of decades-and-decades of ceaseless, inter-generational organizing and mobilizing. Free them all! ndncollective.org/president-bi...
