VIDEOS!
Following the November 9 march on the Pope Squat (1510 King St. W.) hundreds of people boarded chartered buses to the ritzy neighborhood where Toronto Mayor David Miller hangs his hat.
Just northeast of High Park is a group of large houses which have been slated for demolition to make way for (you guessed it!) more condos. In an area of one entire city block there is only a single house which still has people living in it. Fifteen neighboring buildings are sitting empty! The cops made every effort to stall us, forcing us to crawl along well below the speed limit by driving their cars slowly just in front of the buses.

More than two years after being brutalized by police in Ottawa, non-status migrants and supporters are acquitted
OTTAWA, February 24, 2006: Today, 12 protesters involved with the Action Committee of Non-Status Algerians were acquitted of mischief in relation to the occupation of the Immigration Minister's offices in downtown Ottawa on May 29, 2003, more than two-and-a-half years ago.
The "not-guilty" verdict, for all 12 defendants, was greeted with loud cheers and applause. The courtroom, crammed with more than sixty supporters from Ottawa, Gatineau, Montreal and Toronto, broke into the chant: "So-so-so, solidarité, avec, avec, avec les sans-statut!"
