War Criminal George Dubya Bush came to Toronto Ontario, May 28th and was unwelcomed by hundreds of protestors. Bush, who was on tour with former president Bill Clinton, spoke at the Metro Convention Center in Downtown Toronto. Bush/Clinton was paid 250,000.00 each to speak to the elites of the city. Apparently there was a bit of difficulty selling tickets and prices were eventually dropped to just shy of two hundred dollars. Toronto was the testing ground for the tour, to see what sort of attention it would get; positive and/or negative.

Therefore it was imperative that the unwelcoming committee was there to greet him. The crowds were loud, and shouted things like “War Criminals Out, War Resisters In” and “Arrest Bush”. Hands were made to look bloody, and a fifty foot banner was unfolded to read “Bush & Clinton, War Criminals Not Welcome in Toronto”. As part of the festivities, a huge painting of Bush’s “mug shot” was hung in the center of the demonstration. People were eager to throw their shoes at the picture.

This was my first demo in Toronto. I found the mood of the crowd to be both energetic and positive. People were undoubtedly loud and angry, but they illustrated it in the most positive of ways.

As for my part? I handed out information, screamed, yelled, threw some shoes, and did “vogue” poses for the secret service cameras. Air kisses for all assholes!

And to Bush? The evil you created also lives inside you, it is a part of you and it will undoubtedly destroy you. You God will not just forsake you, I expect he will kick you in the balls too.
