TORONTO REPORTBACK
Xenophobic asshats from "Canada First" were COMPLETELY OUTNUMBERED AND SURROUNDED by anti-fascists at their announced anti-migrant rally yesterday and forced to flee under police protection.
Maybe choosing a park with a well-known history of running fascists out, in the most ethnically-diverse city in the world, to hold an anti-migrant/pro-deportation rally was not a good strategic decision on their part?

Blackout Anniversary . . . AFTER Party !
Bickford Park, our final stop of the night,
And secret location of the 2025 Blackout Anniversary Party/Parade After Party.
New Model Circus Army and Ito were Poi/Fireperforming atop the baseball diamond.
There were other "Stages" throughout the park,
Music unplugged, of course it's unplugged, we celebrating the Great North American "Blackout" of 2003 after all,
but once I parked my butt around first base, that was good enough for me.

Blackout Anniversary Parade
After occupying the Bloor-Bathurst intersection where Koreatown, The Annex, and Harbord Village meet,
I paraded alongside Samba Elegua as we headed south on Bathurst Street and watched the Stranded Streetcar Driver dance while smiling at all of us who stranded him barely a hundred meters from his terminal destination of Bathurst Subway Station.
Toronto, my hometown, with all its big city challenges of late,
Even after 22 years, still has this Annual Blackout Celebration going for it!

Blackout Anniversary Parade
After leaving Christie Pits Park,
Thousands of us weaved through neighbourhood streets until we entered Koreatown proper and spilled onto Bloor Street West heading towards Bathurst Street . . .

"What's that," you ask?
90 years ago 🔥TODAY🔥 a bunch of Nazi fucks had their asses handed to them by Jewish and Italian Torontonians.That's the short version.
Watch the videos for the long version:⚾️ It's a Canadian Heritage Moment (sort of).
https://youtu.be/uB97KF-oDj4🧢 A play commemorated Canada's Largest Race Riot
https://youtu.be/rZr3qKR6tV4🦇 And this guy invites you to get in your time machine and enjoy the 85th anniversary back in 2018.
https://youtu.be/ewqcMHToN_4Noon to 8pm.
⚾️ 🧢 ⚾️ 🧢 ⚾️
I don't feel like writing "free food" is EVER a good idea. But there you have it.Only 100 commemorative t-shirts are available, and if you think you're getting mine, we may see a small re-enactment.
