You basically can't look in any direction without seeing these things.
I do not like taking pictures of random people I don't know so you don't get a sense of how populated this area is. I missed taking photos of the most used #29 bus stops right in front of No Frills grocery store where dozens of people are crowding around til the bus comes. Virtually nothing has been torn down or picked off. Photos taken around 5pm; they were presumably put up at night and have been there all day. Many hundreds/thousands of people have gone by and nobody has touched them.
I kind of felt like even taking pictures I was being eyed up by people deciding if it was hostile or not. Which to be clear, is totally rad.
Everywhere I go in this city I see people wearing keffiyeh, and all sorts of stickers, posters, graffiti, flags in support of Palestine. It's no surprise given the internationalist character of Toronto.
To what extent it results in any tangible changes is not known to me.
I would not be surprised if the Brockton area of Toronto is swarming with comrades. There was a huge poster for the communist party of Canada up at bloor/dufferin last summer that lasted like two weeks before it was defaced.
AlsoI wonder how many hexbears I’ve walked past without knowing it.
& FYI I am the extremely cute one
Aroond these areas, I got to see at least Labour Day poster...
So that's good to know post-electoralist progressivism isn't dyin but livin'
Some communists were tabling at Dufferin TTC the other day next to the guy who runs the little market in front of the old people's home.
It's probable all areas of Toronto are swarming with comrades, especially given the hundreds of diaspora communities represented. But high rents got everyone having to put all their energies into work work work instead of getting together.
