The new leader to be tested early on

 

 

 

Meow everyone. With a new administration having taking office with our very recent municipal elections, several new challenges await our new mayor John Tory.  Our previous Mayor , Rob Ford had his challenges with the occupy movement that turned a city park into a toxic waste zone for over a month.  He faced corrupt and self entitled unions making  unrealistic  demands  with their attempt to hold the city and Torononians hostage again with insane union demands.

 

Our previous mayor prior to Rob Ford was a guy named David Millar, who quite frankly was a glorified clown who would cave into any union demand , and was directly responsible HIMSELF for turning this city from a clean city into the worlds largest garbage dump when he allowed a strike to take place, to appease union demands, over the health and safety of the city and the citizens who pay taxes. Millar was also the spineless mayor who  allowed G20 black Bloc anarchists to roam  this city destroying anything and everything in their path , as opposed to showing real leadership and not holding back police who wanted to act, but were in many cases, ordered to stand back . A real leader would have ordered police to put an end to it, but Millar, being the NDP socialist that he is, just like another party mate, Olivia Chow would rather cave into the radical left as opposed to being a leader.Well, he is gone and gladly, save for a few messes he created that we are still paying for, mostly forgotten as well.

 

The first real leadership came to this city , leadership that was long overdue , when Rob Ford was elected as mayor. Ford, being just another average guy as opposed to some pompous ass like Millar was, related to the people, working class people , and he understood what this city needed. Unlike Millar who did nothing for this city, Ford was instrumental in getting programs started to beautify this city. With the Pan-Am Games coming , it was important tot present this city in the best possible light. No area was to be left untouched.

 

Ground zero for the Pan-Am games would the Athletes village which is situated in the area around Parliament and Front streets. This are was home to rail lands, abandoned factories, and unused land for decades. This same area would now see a sizable development project to place not only the athletes village there, but once the games are done, these same residences would then become home to the general public by way of much needed affordable housing units, as well as market value sale units.

 

One of the things that was initiated was to make the area look much better through art. Street artists from the area were selected  and commissioned to create artwork on places and spaces . The funding would come from the city directly . Here are examples of the skills and talent these artists, LOCAL artists had to showcase their work :

 

 

 

Clearly one can see that these kids, these local artists have considerable talent and most certainly should have a forum to showcase their work. However, one other group also makes this are their home and this area is also ground zero for them. i am talking about an organization that has in the past been referred to as an urban terrorist organization, rightly so in my opinion, an organization that prides itself on rioting, burning, pillaging  and destroying anything that beautifies an area. I am  of course referring to OCAP . I came upon these works of art in my travels some time not too long ago , watching as these artists put their heart and soul into these works of art. I was told that it took as long as a month to create each one of these and from looking at the detail within, its east to see why it took that long. However, OCAP came along and in less than a minute, they make the above work look like this :

 

 

 

It took days to clean and repaint these pieces of art  and even the cops who came to investigate where incensed by this blatant act of cowardly vandalism.

 

The are that these works of art are located in is also in fairly close proximity to Ryerson University , home of the radical left wing Ryerson Student Union  ( RSU ) . The Ryerson Student union became well known as one of the organizations that supported the G20 riots, with several of its executive members and senior staff caught in direct proximity to ” where the action was ” .  Being near the action on of itself does not prove they were directly involved in or directly participated in the violent aspect of the G20 protests, HOWEVER, the student union building was home to a great many planning sessions  and since the Ryerson Student Union is very closely, directly connected  to the most violent of the violent anarchists, it is not too much of a stretch to at the very least speculate that some of them did indeed participate in rioting. 

 

The  RSU  was even visited by RCMP undercover officers who were, sadly discovered early on and where forced to vacate the building. Perhaps had they  modified their approach, the RCMP may have gotten valuable information that may have prevented, or at least identified some of the key people involved. I am certain, however, they have learned from this and will be much smarter in their approach , as the Pan-Am games draws ever so close.

 

So, where am I exactly going with this and why one may ask? As many of my readers already know, I am following very closely the movements of the anarchists  and the Pan-Am games to see what is out there. One of the KEY professional protestors  was recently forced to leave Canada , hoping she she never sets foot in here again. I am of course referring to Sakura Saunders. A recent story about the cost of security for the games was published in the local news papers and of course ,Saunders, was there to pounce on it:

 

 

 

However, what also caught my attention was the comments that followed :

 

 

 

Rejean Hoilett is the currant President of the Ryerson Student Union and has made a name for himself by supporting racist protests. He is a key organizer in the most recent protest trend that pits  persons of various races against each other. This guy is a real piece of work . Here is what he looks like :

 

 

Jesse Root , also posted a comment and is the currant Vice-President  of the RSU . Here is his image:

 

 

 

Then there is Byron Sonne.  Byrone was one of the people arrested in a raid leading up to the G20 and faced charges related to explosives. He spent a considerable amount of time in prison  for these charges, and was found not guilty at his trrial. I have no opinion on his innocence  or guilt as I simply have no facts to formulate an opinion on. However, he has declared himself an anarchist which , alone should put him back on the microscope . Here is Sonne:

 

Over the past year, I have come across considerable chatter  regarding the Pan-Am games and will be doing a Pan-Am special to get the warnings out there. This is one you won’t want to miss . Stay tuned ……………
