Meow everyone. Well here we are a new year , a new band wagon for the professional protestor to jump on. This time, its the Idle No More band wagon.It seems that  what these professional protestors need is a really cold winter, to keep them inside because as the temps warm up, so do their sense of self importance. Case in Point.

Here in Toronto, as in many other cities, the latest flavor of the month protest is the Idle No More protest.

Now let me be very clear on this as no doubt the lunatic fringe of the professional protest movement will want to twist these words around for their own agendas.  I SUPPORT THE RIGHTS OF THE NATIVE PEOPLE TO SELF GOVERN . Good, i trust that,  that left no room for it being twisted around. What I do have an issue with is that the rights of our native persons is being used as a tool to hide a far bigger problem , that of gross and negligent mismanagement of funds by these bands. This whole Theresa Spence issue and starvation stunt is just that, a publicity stunt to divert attention from the real problem she wants to have hidden.

It is no secret that he band is one of the poorest of all the native bands , yet, she seemed ,as a so called chief / leader, to care more for herself  FIRST than careing for her band members. She has no problem driving around  in a really nice Cadillac Escalade which range in price from about $75,000.00 to over $110,000.00 .

Here is an article recently written about the gross mismanagement :

A new audit of the Attawapiskat Indian reserve was released Monday. It was shocking.

The accounting firm of Deloitte randomly chose 505 financial transactions, between April 1, 2005 and Nov. 30, 2011, to review. They found “81% of files did not have adequate supporting documents and over 60% had no documentation of the reason for payment.”

A lot of that money was supposed to go to housing. Attawapiskat is the reserve where some houses have leaky roofs, poor insulation, broken plumbing and are generally unfit for habitation. But Deloitte wrote, “There is no evidence of due diligence in the use of public funds, including the use of funds for housing.”

Deloitte can’t find where the money went. But maybe the long list of people on the band’s rich payroll might know, starting with Theresa Spence, the chief, or her boyfriend, Clayton Kennedy, who just happens to be the town’s financial manager. He bills the band $850 a day to manage their finances.

In fact, there are 21 politicians on the band payroll. Plus plenty of full-time staff. But Deloitte didn’t find that reassuring: “Attawapiskat First Nation did not provide us with any job descriptions for individuals who are involved in the financial management of funding agreements.”

The band doesn’t even produce annual budgets. High school football teams have budgets. The band council doesn’t keep regular minutes of their meetings, either. Ordinary band members can’t find out what their politicians are doing. (Spence, in a news release Monday, dismissed the audit’s release as “no more than a distraction from the true issue” and said it was an attempt to “discredit” her.)

So what does this all look like, if you pour $100 million through such a system, as the federal government has done since 2005? Well, here are a few of the findings in Deloitte’s sample of 505 transactions.

In September, 2011, at the height of the housing crisis, they spent $4,333 on breakfast supplies. No documentation. No contract, no invoice.

In April of 2011, a “consultant” got paid $303,256. The identity of the consultant is not known. The documentation is incomplete.

What kind of consultant did Attawapiskat need for $303,256 last year? In the middle of a housing crisis? Was it a roofing consultant? Someone to develop a roofing strategy? Is that why they didn’t have money to actually hire a roofer?

There are many of these employment contracts – often six figures, always anonymous.

Another common one is “other purchases.” One was for $87,150. Auditor’s note: “Occurrence questionable.” Was anything even bought? Who knows?

Countless money was spent on legal fees. One payment was for $68,910 – lawyer unknown, no supporting documentation. Was it band business? Or maybe someone’s divorce?

What about a real estate deal three years ago for

$1.1 million? But it’s an Indian reserve. The band already owns all the land. And the vendor is anonymous. There was zero supporting documentation. Was this $1.1 million property deal even in Attawapiskat? Or was it in Florida?

There are a flurry of these property purchases – all secret, no street address or even a general geographic location given.Eighty-one percent of the files the auditor checked are this way. Not 1% or 2%. This isn’t an error. It’s a way of life.

If the people involved had Italian names and were from the Montreal construction industry, or French-Canadian names from Montreal ad agencies, instead of Indian “consultants” from Attawapiskat, there would be resignations and criminal charges flying.

But it would be racist to ask tough questions of Chief Spence and her boyfriend. And, she’s so close to starving herself, it would be mean, too.

Is Stephen Harper really going to meet with her on Friday? Shouldn’t the RCMP do so first? … “

Wait. You want more proof of gross mismanagement?

So, what we have are a bunch of professional protestors who have already hijacked other movements such as the Occupy Toronto Movement , and now, they are doing the exact same thing with this. They think that somehow, dancing in circles will make the problem go away. Well, it won’;t be going away anytime soon and if the Canadian Public is smart , they will demand that the  government get directly involved to address these  incompetent  managers and chiefs and administer the tax dollars that we all pay into for these bands to get their handouts. My guess is that with a little bit of government help, these chiefs will not be driving Escalade’s anymore. As for Spence, if she really cared about her people, here is a novel idea, Sell the truck and give it back to the people who really deserve it .

Meow  everyone.

A few days ago, on Decmber 13 and in to December 14, OCAP , one of the poverty pimp organizations here in Toronto and the OFL staged a photo op event to try and show the plight of those who are without homes . Now let me be very clear here. The issue of persons without homes is a very serious issue and it effects us ALL in one way or another. However, this is NOT a license to exploit those persons for personal gain.

So, on the evening in question, Sid Ryan , the head of the Ontario Federation of Labor decided to come  out and spend a night outside to ” understand ” the plight of those without homes. What a noble cause. Well, as with everything he does, its about the photo ops and little to do with anything else, sadly. Here  he is , out there as one of those persons without a home:

By the way, I could not help but notice your designer glasses, while those less well off than you are lucky to ever, even  have glasses. I  could not  help but to notice your nice jacket. I’m sure it kept you nice and warm, unlike those who likely don’t have a jacket to begin with . By the way, was that chair you were sitting on comfortable for you ?  Well , at least you had one to sit on , unlike those who are without homes have. In fact Mr. Ryan, a piece of wet cardboard is usually what is the only barrier between the person and the concrete. How did you eat this night ? I’ll bet you didn’t do  any dumpster diving did you ? No of course not, it would have ruined your designer clothes. Glad actually that you didn’t dumpster dive because it allowed those without home to scrounge some food that  you may have discarded earlier in the day.  By the way, what did you wash your meal down with? I’ll bet you didn’t use a old styro foam cup you found  now did you ? Was it a bottle of 1952 Bollinger  ? I hear the ’59 is better but then I wouldn’t know. In fact, many are lucky to be able to get to the Don River to drink river water . I could not help but notice how clean you look. I’ll bet you have a really nice , warm shower at home, unlike those without homes who may not be able to shower for days. You know, you have really nice teeth, unlike many persons without home who don’t have any teeth  because they can’t afford dental care . Oh ya , I’ll bet you didn’t have to deal with a ticket for pan handling did you ? Well, OK, maybe Irwin who is next to you  spotted  you a quick grand to hold you over until the morning.  Speaking of Irwin, it was nice to see that you at least had a buddy to cover your back, unlike many who live on the streets  are beaten up daily. Oh ya, how did you get there by the way? I’ll bet that you didn’t have to walk for miles, it would have ruined those designer shoes for sure.

Tell me Mr. Ryan, out the persons who are without homes, how  many did you put there? You and your unions  make  outragous   and unrealistic demands that  force companies to  have to lay off workers , forcing many onto the streets because they lose their homes and families. Don’t worry though, I am sure that your huge salary , i hear its about $350,000.00 a year, from the union dues will cover your lifestyle pretty well, don’t worry about the rest of us.  Don’t worry that those families will not be able to provide their kids with a decent education because your demands outweigh reality. Hey, Sid, do you know that you make more in one week based on that salary, than those who are lucky to  even get Ontario Works  have to live for the entire YEAR ?  But yes, you hate the 1% . Right, got it, we believe you.

Oh, Mr Ryan, how’s your health ?  I’ll bet its far better than the health of those you used as a  back drop for your self promoting photo op. I could not help but notice those nice manicured finger nails , that nice well care for skin, really, a prime example of good health … unlike those who are without homes. Lastly Mr. Ryan, you make a very   good salary doing what you do, photo ops and speaking, more photo ops,  I wonder, did you think of springing for a meal for everyone who was there with that night ? Hell, there were about 75 people there , times  say, twenty bucks a meal , hell you would have had enough of your weekly paycheck left to take that stretch limo to the opera, or home.  I mean come on, it would have been good PR and a smart business move as you would have been able to write it off as a business expense. Wait, the plight  of those without homes is really just another photo op for you isn’t it , because you see sir, if you REALLY cared, I mean REALLY REALLY cared, you would not have been in the spot  light but rather, you would have used your influence to get these people a place to stay, some food, warm cloths , decent health care … but, you do look good in pictures.

So, from those of us who are struggling to make ends meet, thanks for nothing. Don’t tell us that you understand what we deal with because you don’t  understand shit.

Meow everyone.

My readers will recall that not too long ago, I started to address the topic of bullying and how this has an effect on  everyone. I made mention of how schools are filled with bullying  and , how utterly disgusting this is. I wish to continue on this subject today because of some very recent developments here in Ontario, where the teachers union has decided to act as king bully to not only students, but to thier very own members as well. As you read this, I would like each of you to know as well that this past Monday, December 03, 2012 was the International Day for Persons with disabilities. Don’t see the connection yet? Don’t worry, you will shortly.

I wish to first throw a little background into the unions position on bullying an dhow not only do they condone it, but in fact, they  carry it out against some of the most vulnerable people of all, children with disabilities . There is a great series of articles on this that can be found here at :

https://kitty.protestnerd.com/2012/06/20/urgent-call-to-action-to-protect-ontarios-autistic-children-from-opseus-violence/

GenuineWITTY did a superior job in exposing the unions continues practice of physical abuse on autistic children  a practice the union supported and fought to  be able to continue. GenuineWITTY fought hard and advocated to put a stop to this practice and thanks to his hard work, he was successful . However, the unions had other dirty tricks up their slimy sleeves. Here is some info on what i am talking about:

” …

 

Meow everyone.

Many of us either are, or have been through the university system, in some cases, several times. I have had the opportunity to attend schools in BC  as well as several Ontario colleges and universities to undertake a variety of study areas. I have always felt that school was and will always continue to be a very significant [part of my life as what i can learn is priceless.

I have come to learn that university offers the obvious in that it teaches the student the basics of a potential career on a wide variety of professional  fields. One can be a Dr., a Lawyer, an engineer, literally anything ones heart desires is only a campus away. The academic knowledge  is plentiful, the atmosphere as unique as are the students who attend and the offerings equally as great. however, in my discoveries, i have learned that the academic component of the university system is actually a very small part of what university life is all about. Now I do have the benefit  of a few extra years of lived experience as opposed to the average age of a university student , so i have a certain amount of for knowledge afforded me as a result of this lived experience. Universities offer, as i said, a great academic background in a variety of professional careers, however, what it REALLY offers is the beginnings of a LIVED experience. One gets to see, possibly for the first time , a life outside their town, as  one example.

However, there is on element of university life and its subsequent experience that shows its dark side. I am referring to the many fringe groups that prey upon unsuspecting students. I am really sick and tired of them ( these fringe groups )  using my school , and other schools as their own private recruitment sites for their criminality. I can see clearly, innocent students looking for a cause,  but being  exploited by these criminals . So many of these students are not only new students , but also,  new to the big city and all of its trappings. These  fringe groups exploit them, knowing full well these new students are not worldly enough yet to really know what they are getting into, until its too late. I know we can’t stop this from happening, but at least, my opinion only ,t we can educate them enough to allow them to have some sort of vision as to see at least some of what they  ( these fringe groups ) REALLY do.

We are all by now aware of the student strikes in Quebec. These were led by so called student leaders. one of these leaders , (  she was the past president of the Ryerson Student Union ) made the following statement on her twitter feed :

I must wonder if Ms. Loreto was aware of the   significant consequence of acts of criminality that it will have forever on the person who commits the offense.  These fringe groups and radical student unions look for people. prey on people will do the dirty work for them, while these same leaders hide in their offices away  from where the action is.

As rule , student unions have , or are supposed to have anti oppression polices against things   such as  violence , racist  and sexist  comments, along with a plethora of other things. However, policies are one thing, enacting them is quite another story.

In the not too distant past, there was a very well documents case were right inside and literally at the front door of of the  University of Toronto graduate student union  lounge / pub, an act of violence was not only enacted, but it was pre-planned  and persons were brought in specifically for the sole purpose of enacting this violence upon one person that they themselves have invited to speak on a matter. this took place on University property and under the direct watch of ANARCHISTS, black bloc anarchists. So they seeming had all of these wonderful policies to fall back on , when it was convenient to use them, but somehow, they decided to suspend policies when it suited them to  physically assault someone.

Last night, I had an opportunity to attend a seminar about human trafficing, one of the ugliest forms of oppression on the planet. it was not long before Harsha Walia spoke. If you want to see the racist in action, just go to an event where she speaks and see for yourself. According to her, white males, are responsible , almost exclusively, for the claimed exploitation  of aboriginal , brown and black women ….. according to her.

Racism,  anarchism, the condoning of violence, they are all alive, sadly, and one does not have to look farther than their own student unions to see it.

Let me leave you with a quote to show the mind set of some persons who are so called student leaders. here is a direct quote from a guy from the York University Federation of Students. :

” … Before the show started, Nila Zameni, the V.P. of Campus Life for the YFS urged the crowd to take action against the school for continuing to raise their tuition fees and had the entire crowd chanting “Rise Up, Resist, Retaliate”.  … ”

Next time, i will start to expose the  persons directly who lead these student unions /  fringe groups on  the campuses . there will be names and faces .

Meow everyone.

As many of you will have come to learn , a huge recent development has allowed the flood gates of new information to be made known with respects to the various anarchists in Ontario and how they relate to each other. the information was, actually always there and we knew about it, but held off in writing about it until there was rock solid proof. Now, we have it and  you as my readers, and fellow students are going to be made aware of what is REALLY going on , on your campuses.

I have had the opportunity to attend several colleges and universities over the course of my studies  and each has a very unique feel about them. Here in Toronto, we have the university of Toronto, a school so big in size that it is very reasonable to suggest that a student there will never see the entire campus for the duration of their studies.  York university, while smaller in physical size as it is concentrated in one large area , a small city onto itself , is still very big . Ryerson University is the smallest of the three and its easy to know whats going on at Ryerson at any one time. i will be focusing my attention on Ryeson, simply because I attend here myself.

Each year, the Ryerson Students Union hold an event they refer to as Social Justice week. This is fairly  new as it has only been taking place  for about three years. Ryerson is also one of the hotbeds of the anarchist movement in Toronto  and is a very strong supporter of the Canadian Federation of Students

Here is what the Ryerson Students Union proclaims what they see Social justice week as being :

On the surface, drawing attention to various social issues is a good idea as it is supposed to educate people  on the various key issues. However, this is very problematic when these same events are co=opted by persons and groups who have noting to do with so called social justice issues, rather, they are there to promote their own agendas and / or brand of hate .

This year, the RSU social justice wek had some of the more better known within the anarchist community present and doing workshops and seminars. In this image below, we see  Ashleigh Ingle , aka anarchist Ashleigh  as well as Alex Balch,  aka flagpole Alex  doing a seminar on civil disobedience ,a subject they are experts in . problem is that neither of them are students at Ryerson .

Here are stand alone images of them :

Next during the same event an information  table was set up by Common Cause, an anarchist group. Why is the RSU promoting anarchism to its students in the first place?  Here are the persons who staffed this table :

the person in the middle of this image is a guy named Doug  Kynikos a well known anarchist in the Toronto area. here is a better image of him:

The next image is of a guy who I am still finding out of he is a Ryerson Student or not . He was a major participant in this same event  and is also a well know anarchist.:

I am refrering of course to the guy wearing the red mask over his face. His name is : Eleutheros Potamoskulos. Here is a better image of him  unmasked :

While he was not at this event, this next guy ties together the connection between the anarchists and the CFS . Many will recall the G20  and how there was a raid at the U of T Graduate Student Union Gym where there were several  black bloc anarchists being housed there, All were arrested and the charges later with drawn. The person who organized this was a guy named  Danial Vandervoort. He was until recently on the board of directors at CESAR , the Continuing Sducation Students At Ryseron a very pro CFS student body as well, he was directly involved with the now defunct CKLN. Here he is :

I will be continuing with this in great detail in the weeks to follow so stay tuned .

Meow everyone.  We are all, sadly, aware that York University has been plagued by some very high profile, negative publicity with respects to students getting sexually assaulted on campus. While the cases reported have made the news in a big way, I must wonder how many such cases went unreported.

I have had the pleasure many years ago to be a student at York, studying in the Phys-Ed program, when it was s till called phys-ed. the name has changed, but from what i still know of the program, it has retained much of its quality of study. York is a very good school in several areas, but it does have its share of problems, especially with its ultra radical student union, the YFS. Many will recall the horrible student riots some years back , the famous anti semetic  protest. What sickens me about this is that the one who participated and were student leaders with the YFS were given nice new comfortable positions as opposed to having their sorry asses throw out . But that’s for another discussion .

Many students wanted a more visible security presence , a more visible police presence to at least offer the appearance that the school is taking the safety and security of its students very seriously. I have no doubts that the school indeed is taking a very proactive roll in  ensuring the safety of staff,  students and faculty. Universities are small cities on to themselves, often self  contained , providing every possible amenity to the students. Remember, there are a significant number of students living in residence  as well so safety and security is a must.

HOWEVER, it appears that at least one student seems to think that a police and security presence is problematic .

.The question i have for the YFS and the CFS to which every student at York University is forced to be a member of, whether they like / want it or not. What are your organizations doing to ensure that students are safe and secure? You seem to have no trouble taking students money, you love to travel to nice hotels for CFS conventions, like the one going on right now in Ottawa, yet, I cannot help but wonder what you could have done instead right on your own campuses.

Meow my fellow  Undercoverkitty fans . Yesterday, a major development materialized  that may  prove to be a key, pivotal point in the exposing of the inner workings of the anarchist  and student move union movements in Ontario. As many of you all know by now, my good friend from here at :  

https://kitty.protestnerd.com 

, has been exposing the anarchist movement in Ontario and throughout Canada, as well as exposing Kevin Annett as a fraud within the aboriginal advocacy movement. Yesterday, some one posted a comment on his blog that broke everything wide open. It was a short one line comment but what it contained proved to open a floodgate of information that will take considerable time to read and make sense of. It is THAT VAST  and that significant .

This one piece  of critical information , which has been verified  as authentic ties together in considerable detail the anarchist movement that GenuineWitty has been writing about and the student movement , specifically, the CFS ( Canadian Federation of Students )  and its member student unions, which I have concentrated on.  If there was ever any doubt as to whether or not they were connected, all of that is now erased as the connection is rock solid. 

Stay tuned , this is about to get very interesting ………..
