Some cool Occupy Toronto images: Dee Occupy Toronto Image by LexnGer After yesterday’s ruling that the "eviction" stands, and a park full of people as we drove by last night on our way back into town, the Occupy Toronto village is still solidly entrenched in St. James Park. Some tents have been removed. The Yurts are being taken down and the kitchen has been removed to protect valuables. The city has provided trucks to help people move their gear. But the park still has residents in it. The media still surrounds the park. The signs have taken a much more militant spin. The Library is no longer Open and is now barricaded. Other structures have barricades around them too. I would love to see this end peacefully. Please. Everyone. Peacefully! An Occupy Toronto protestor speaks out against poverty Image by Jason Hargrove Occupy Toronto is a peaceful protest that began on October 15, 2011 in Toronto, Ontario, near Bay Street in the Financial District of the downtown core.

Attached is a flyer for the east-end about cuts affecting homeless prevention solutions and shelters – please print off and enable us distribute! Make contact with your city councilor and inform them to Cease THE CUTS! See here: ‘No one should really be left out in the cold’ from Collectively Toronto tool to send a message to neighborhood councilors: http://togethertoronto.ca/campaigns/homelessness ——————— Speak Out Against the Spending budget! Join the Cease the Cuts ‘Budget Breakfast’ Tuesday, January 15, 2013 8:00am Toronto City Hall (100 Queen St. West, front entrance) It is time as soon as again to speak out against the Toronto City Spending budget. The 2013 spending budget has enormous cuts to services the men and women of Toronto desperately require. City Council votes on the spending budget on Tuesday, January 15th. Join us as we fight to Stop the Cuts for 2013. How to get involved: 1. Get in touch with your local councilor demanding that they vote against any cuts in the 2013 spending budget. Demand even more solutions, not less. (Unearth your councilor here: http://app.toronto.ca/im/council/councillors.jsp) two. Talk to mates, family members, co-workers and neighbours about the cuts. Distribute the Quit the Cuts Price range flyer: http://tinyurl.com/STCbudget2013 three. Join us for the Quit the Cuts Spending budget Breakfast on January 15th. We will be at City Hall to voice our opposition prior to council votes. Important Troubles in this Budget Ideology more than Frequent Sense • Service and staffing cuts from final year have not and will not be reversed. The loss of revenue from cutting the Automobile Registration Tax and freezing property taxes in 2011 leaves a lingering hole in the budget that is made use of as an excuse to cut solutions. • House taxes are once once more only becoming raised by beneath two% rather of the 3% required to match inflation. Corporations continue to get handouts as their home taxes are becoming raised by much less than 1%. A 3% raise would price the typical homeowner only $ 80-$ 90/year. The cost of not rising taxes is massive cuts to solutions we all desire. • The City is once again refusing to use last year’s surplus to balance subsequent year’s books. This is a different justification for cuts. Utilizing surplus is a common spending budget practice – not the recklessness that Ford claims it is. • Budgets that have been reduce by ten% final year are frozen for this year. Including inflation and development in the city, most departments are down 16% or much more. Much less funding implies fewer services. Proposed Cuts and Fee Hikes • Shelter, assistance and housing is becoming attacked when we already have a housing crisis in this city. Due to federal, provincial cuts there is a cut of $ 72 million from last year’s spending budget. City Council should really be fighting these cuts on behalf of Torontonians. Instead they are adding their personal cuts via the elimination of the Individual Needs Allowance, slashing the price range for TCHC repairs, rent subsidies and reducing the quantity of shelter bed nights by a whopping 41,172 • We currently face one other TTC fare hike while service levels remain grossly inadequate • Dialysis individuals are going to shed Wheeltrans access • The Global AIDS Initiative is becoming axed • Cuts to the Fire Department that place everyone’s safety at threat • Police, who in fact got a price range increase last year, are only being asked to freeze their $ 1 billion budget....
High-quality news! Rob Ford’s hand picked budget chair has resigned following his ultimatum if the other councillors were to add to Del Grande’s proposed 2013 spending budget.

by Zig Zag, Warrior Publications, January 30, 2013 January 28 was Idle No Way more’s “Global Day of Action,” however one more in a series of rallies meant to put pressure on the Canadian government to rescind Bill C-45 and engage in “meaningful dialogue” with Native peoples. The date was chosen as it is the day when members of parliament resume sitting in the Residence of Commons, located in Ottawa. As opposed to previous days of action, this a single was also called with Frequent Causes, a new (and tiny heard of) coalition that consists of the Council of Canadians, environmentalist and labour groups. Regardless of the new coalition and nearly two weeks of promotion, even so, numbers have been far lower than previous national days of action, such as these on December 10 and 21, 2012. These mobilizations every saw quite a few thousand Natives rally across the country, accompanied by numerous blockades of railways and highways. Ottawa, which had observed plenty of as 4,000 rally on December 10, saw much less than 600 persons on Jan 28. When probably as a variety of as two,000 rallied in Edmonton on Dec ten, less than 500 attended on Jan 28. Winnipeg, which had also noticed some 2,000 rally previously (on Dec 21), saw an estimated 800 gather at the Manitoba Legislature (regardless of the scheduled appearance of singer Buffy Ste-Marie).
