Toronto's Social Justice Warriors Hypocrisy Exposed

Meow everyone.

So here you are a student at a university that has a student union which you have no choice but to be a part of,  which is a member of the Canadian Federation of Students, also an organization you have no choice but to be a part of. Yes, isn’t democracy wonderful? Ok, so, you are governed by what is basically a simplified version of the communist party , since you have no voice, no say in what they do. Sounds familiar ?

Well, once again, these draconian dictators seem to think they know what students want and stand for. OK, no reason to ask for opinions or even input, after all, asking students what they want  or what they want to support would lead to chaos and risk breaking the CFS strangle hold they have over student unions and students. Case in point:

Hey Adam, dude,  do a little research an dyou will learn that this whole Spence crap is exactly that , bullshit and a scam. Can you explain to us lowly students , why this lady is claiming to be on a hunger strike?

She drives a nice Cadillac Escalade, pays her B/F $800.00 a day, mismanaged over a $100,000,000.00 over about five or six years without so much as one document to show where the money went, you know , YOUR tax dollars.

Adam , dude, she claims to be on a hunger strike, and in her own words, she was going to stay on one untel she got a meeting the the Prime Minister . The Prime Minister  agreed to such a meeting, So, she now changed her mind only two days before the meeting is to take place, with a new demand, she now wants to meet with the Gov.  General as well. Hey, He agrees as well, awesome, everyone is cool here right ? Nope, Not her, the meeting takes place and she walks out because in her words, it was a show. So now, she claims to be remaining  on her hunger strike until she gets  an all nations meeting .

Look Awad, you were in finance,  spending our student money on pathetic buttons, crappy t-shirts, useless  and laughable campaigns, lunches at Wendys, and lots of bottle water made by Coke,by the way, i am drinking a bottle of coke right now, yummy,  but at least, you had documents to show where you spent it all.

Adam, you are not speaking for all students here and trust me dude,  even a first year business student who never went to class could smell this scam a mile away. All she is doing is diverting attention away from her gross incompetence and mismanagement  and you are falling into her  fish broth laden trap. Why not tell her to sell the Caddy  and give the money back to her people, if she really cares about them. Better yet, since you are both In Ottawa, stop  by and see her, and hey,  bring her a take out order from Wendys. After all, you would be contributing to her health by getting her to eat some solid food . If is snowing there, ask her if she will loan the keys to her Caddy. its easier to  go through the drive through in an SUV anyway.Oh and Adam , when addressing the Prime Minister, you address him as Mr. Prime Minister . 

Meow everyone.

This just in. This weekend the CFS held one of it frequent meetings where they claim to discuss policies, but really, they pat each other on the back and give nice appointments to those who obeyed their every command. This is not new for the CFS, ask Toby Whitfield, Hamid Osman, Jeremy Salter and others. Well in fine tradition, today, about an hour ago, they  have a new person who will act in the capacity of Ontario chairperson. his name is Alistar Woods and  he is from York University.

Here is a small bio of him :

sourced from here at “

http://tedxyorku.tumblr.com/post/18948754512/featured-speaker-alastair-woods

” … Alastair Woods is the current Vice President of Campaigns and Advocacy for the York Federation of Students, representing over 50,000 full- and part-time undergraduate students at York University. In his time at York, Alastair has served on Senate, the YFS Board of Directors and as External Coordinator for Trans, Bi, Lesbians, Gays and Allies at York (TBLGAY).

Passionate about political activism, Alastair has organized three Days of Action to Drop Tuition Fees in 2008, 2009 and 2012. He’s currently completing his degree in International Development and Political Science and hopes to continue being a troublemaker long after graduation. … ”

Here is a recent image of him :

So, while he will get a nice gig for a year making about $45-50 grand a year, that is money that came out of YOUR  FORCED  student levies you had no choice but to pay , he will hob nob with, with the usual crowd of NDP’rs and international socialists, be a  part of organizing more useless student demonstrations, and as usual, do nothing for students. Personally, I have nothing against the guy, I’m sure that as a person, he is not a bad guy. Lets see what if anything, he will do to address student issues. Alistar, I will be watching you and the CFS.

I was, however, very disappointed to find an article in a communist publication , a Marxist publication no less. Here is the link , its worth a read as this is what your CFS is about .

Meow everyone.

i have bee writing a fair bit about how some  student unions love to say one thing but in fact, practice something very much opposite of what they say.

Now, lets have a look at the first poster that was for these series of events:

 

 Now please forgive me, however, I fail to see anywhere on this first poster exactly where there is any mention of any sort of accommodations , or any being offered or provided. Would you please show me were i might find it one this first poster .

Now, lets go to the second poster :

Well, here, if you look closely at the very bottom of the poster, here, there is an accommodation statement. VERY GOOD.

OK, now that we have seen the posters  for the events, why not see how accessible they really are.

What we see here is a food truck for one of the events. Now , i must admit that in my somewhat hastily arrived at observation, it , on the surface appears that this food truck, while nice and no doubt has good food to buy,   is not  exactly accessible to a person who uses a wheelchair or other mobility device. So  any  claim to accessible events has already failed. However, being the nice person that i really, I wanted to give the RSU  other chance to see if you realized this error and it was simply an oversight. Lets look at the next image.

Come on ,  how could you. Did the Ryerson Student Union  invent a wheelchair that can levitate and climb six inch concrete curbs and not tell anyone about it ? Or, was this just another example of how little thought actually went into deciding where this display would go, and obviously, its NOT accessible now is it?

OK, so there were a few problems with the accessibility of the events . Ii am sorry but when you proclaim that all the events will be accessible and events like this :

.. are clearly not, please explain to me exactly how you can as a student union,  tell us with a straight face that you do care about full inclusiveness for all the students, when clearly, you put on events that EXCLUDE several students. You certainly have no  trouble making spaces for anarchists and communists  to show their wares as seen here :

, and here ,

, however, it appears that the Ryerson Student Union  seem to have little to zero interest in making sure that EVERY student on this campus, who pay fees that pay your healthy salary are fully included in  student life.  

Meow everyone.

I have been covering student related issues fro some years now  and most, if not all my readers know what my position is on just about every issue I write about. I don’t hide my dislike for some issues , am openly condoning others but regardless of people think I speak my mind and hide nothing.

today, i want to talk a little bit about what my school student union seems to be more than willing to accept and condone, seemingly, right out in the open.this week is the winter week of welcome  here at Ryerson University and the events run during this week are actually totally unrelated to the university, but rather, these events are put on by the Ryerson Student Union. There is no secret about the fact that this student union and I  are not on the same page on just about every issue, and today, I will address  another of those issues.

One of the student groups that was a participant in this weeks , week of welcome was a new student  group called :

Right off the start, you notice the logo is very much like that of the one used by anarchists, but with a small variation, as shown here :

  What i found rather interesting here was that when i looked the persons who were staffing the table, it was exactly the same persons who staffed the tables of previous events by the same student union under the name Common Cause, another well known anarchist  group .

The common Cause logo should be of come interest because this bears the trademark ” CROW ” of on eof the most notorious anarchists, Alex Hundert, who, gladly, is in prison right now for his acts of violence during the recent G20 riots here in Toronto. Hundert was also the same scum bag criminal who was welcomed here , even though he had bail conditions imposed upon him, as a guest speaker along side Judy Rebbick , here at Ryerson, Yes, he was arrested for that as well.

Another well know and equally violent person, who also happens to have the name Alex is another such person . His full  name is Alex Balch., aka: Flagpole  Alex:

Balch got his nick name of Flagpole Alex  as he was in the process of attacking a highly respected member of this countries independent media, Greg Renouf with, you guessed it, a flagpole, one he uses to fly his trademarked anarchist and / or black bloc flag with. only this time, he was going to get caught.  His capture was made possible, by none other than on eof his close ties in the anarchist world, Curtis Nixon out the London Ontario  area. Here is what Nixon had to say and how he outed Balch:

However, we really should hear directly from Balch at to what HE thinks about working with society .

sourced from here at :

http://www.arbitragemagazine.com/general/5435/

” … “I’m rejecting my proscribed role as a so-called good citizen to participate in a system that is inherently flawed and unfixable from within,” explains Balch. … ”

Well, Balch has certainly lived to to his role as a bad citizen . But why are student unions like the Ryerson  Student Union welcoming scum bags like Balch onto MY campus with open arms? Well, it appears that the RSU is once again really only interested in garner favor and support from ultra left wing  radical groups and yet again, continuing to disregard the needs of their OWN students . This pattern of violence  is, however, nothing really new, as during the same G20 i mentioned a little earlier, many of these same executive members were there, chanting things like ” no justice no peace, fuck the police ” .

The Ryerson Student Union is a member of the Canadian Federation of Students, which is supposed to be an advocacy group for university students. i say supposed to be, because I have yet to see one thing they have actually done that did students any good. the CFS , for several years did a campaign called ” Drop Fees” where they wanted the government to lower tuition fees. Obviously, this never happened, and is never going to happen . the government did offer students a rebate on tuition fees,  which, on one have the CFS was quick to claim credit for, but then decided to accuse the government  of not making it accessible to everyone.

York University is a member school as is the University of Toronto. Both schools student unions  have a history violent events. York University is famous for their Anti Israel Riot of a few years ago, with the York Federation of Students being strongly anti Israel , as is the CFS . The University of Toronto, more recently  had a violent incident with a mens lecturer. You can read about it here, along with the videos from it as shown here at :

https://kitty.protestnerd.com/2012/12/14/whos-responsible-for-the-university-of-torontos-anti-patriarch-hate-party-feat-vanja-krajina-and-the-old-left/

The people involved in both incidents are closely connected with the anarchist movement here in Toronto. However, lets get back to Balch . Balch was again at Ryerson to promote this new student group, even though he is not a student here ( as far as I know ) . However, fate would catch up to him , as it does to every  criminal , they  get  caught. Balch could run and run and run he did for about six months. No doubt , he was getting complacent in thinking he was getting away with a dangerous assault. He was relaxed, he thought he got away with it . WRONG. At about 2:30 pm on Tuesday January 15, 2013, Alex Balch was arrested for his crime.

The Alex Balch once named Flagpole Alex  had fallen like all rusted out flagpoles do. However, in a show of support for this common criminal, the very persons who where also staffing this same table had one last act of defiance left in them , the act of defacement. they decided to make their way into the nearby washroom and enact their revenge  for the system.You can read more about the falling of the flagpole here at :

https://kitty.protestnerd.com/2013/01/16/violent-anarchist-arrested-at-ryerson-university-stakeout-feat-alex-flagpole-balch/

Yes, brave anarchists all of them … NOT . So Ryerson Student Union, when are you going to get off your assess and actually do something for STUDENTS as opposed to playing host to scum bag violent criminals?

Meow everyone.

It is no secret how much i despise unions and what they stand for, I have stated often that unions are nothing but a bunch of bullies who prefer to act like temper mental bullies when they don’t get their. Well, true to form , they are doing it yet again and this time to YOUR kids.

Recently, the government of Ontario passed a law that took away any possible strikes by teachers . the teacher did not want to strike to  begin with, but, the unions had other ideas. Remember, when talking about unions, we are talking about low life scum bag bullies.

So, rather than try and work with the government in finding a solution that would be mutually beneficial to everyone, the unions wanted no part of any agreements they themselves did not dictate. So, the government passed a law and a new contract  was put in place that took effect January 01, 2013. Well the scum bag unions wanted  no part of this, so, they are now going to hold the students and parents hostage, again.

The unions will go on strike anyway this Friday and again one day next week , because, well, they feel like it.So, what does this mean? As students, this means that the students are being used as pawns by greedy idiots who very likely don’t know how to spell their names. Students are being told that it is important to be a respectful part of society , to obey its laws and contribute to society when possible. But here is what they are REALLY seeing. These same students are seeing that if you don’t like something, go ahead and break the laws you were taught to obey and respect.

There is a much more serious side to this as well. What about the student who is in  need of that extra help because he or she may have a learning disability? Well, the union says, too bad, our demands are more important than your need to learn . What about that single parent who works all day. Now, that same parent may have to stay home, lose  that needed income to with their kid , all because the union wants to throw a temper  tantrum. What about the kid who is trying to make a better  life for them self by staying in school as opposed to being caught up in gangs and crime?  Well , once again, the union doesn’t give a rats ass about the students needs, they only care about their own greed , theri own desire to play power god and they only want to hold everyone hostage.

To the Premier of Ontario, i suggest the following: make a clear public message that for every teacher that goes on strike, they will be fined $50,000.00 for every day they strike. For the union leaders, the fine would be $50,000.00 both personally and against the union, for every teacher that is on strike, plus one month jail time for every teacher on strike ( that would be imposed on the  union  leaders, not the teachers ) Hit these pathetic unions where it hurts them the most, in the wallet. its about time these unions were taught a lesson.

For those union idiots who actually CAN read , and know what big and intellectual sounding words mean , here is a very clear indication of the legality of your planned strike.  For those of you union leaders who don’t know how to read, or at the very least, have no understanding of the use and meaning of words that contain four or more letters, just look at the picture and ask some one who is smarter than you to read it for you, preferably before you end up in jail.

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.
