More images from #carneyprotest in #toronto. The # #canada is for sale event " took place at #AGO museum which is an anti-Palestine institution like the #ROM I have never seen so many cops from everywhere. They closed some 6 or so blocks travelling north... and then some. Money for this but for us?

One block north of the AGO is the closest I could get to as a pedestrian. Motor bikes to the left and cop cars everywhere. Mounted police just passed the intersection.

A photo of the AGO with a police cruiser and its lights flashing with hundreds of cops spread throughout the immediate area.

long range photo of the mounted horse patrol common on all of our protest marches.

A handful of bike cops rode through the crowd without care and almost hit one protester who yelled at them and in typical fashion one of them threatened the protester with "I'll put you on the ground" bullshit - I yelled at him because I do a with"check yourself." I think we had 1,500-2,000 people

An orange cover of a setting sun of a book called Bishop's Pawn by Mir Bahmanyar. On the right side is a gas oil platform with a soldier climbing it from the sea. On the left is a cityscape. Below the title it reads A Jake Bishop Novel. Bottom of cover in quotation marks it reads Subversive, the anti Tom Clancy.

$Bishop’s Pawn – A Jake Bishop Thriller In his daring and no-holds-barred anti-fascist debut novel, Bishop’s Pawn, former US Army Ranger turned best selling military author Mir Bahmanyar electrifies in this propulsive international action thriller set against today’s fractured political climate. A special operations mission in the Gulf of Mexico at a gas and oil platform ends in disaster, leaving Major Jamshid “Jake” Bishop barely alive, washed up on a Cuban beach. Nursed back to health by local villager Maria, a hit team inserts to terminate the lone survivor, but only succeeds in killing Maria’s family. United in their quest for revenge they leave a trail of blood across the globe from the bullet-riddled streets of Vancouver to a high flying wingsuit chase in the frozen air of Norway to the bone-strewn killing fields of Turcmiristan and beyond. The trail of conspiracies leads them to a deadly organization founded in the ashes of World War II, now threatening the President and the remnants of democracy itself. As Jake and Maria race through hails of gunfire amidst the tangled webs of treachery, their pursuit of revenge is overshadowed by the need to neutralize the greater threat of growing fascism, genocides and global domination by a handful of American and Israeli cabalists. The game is on. The board is stacked against them. The opposition is ruthless, with a never-ending supply of deadly mercenary pawns. Bishop began as a pawn. Now he’ll choose his own moves.$
