  • Displays of Outrage and Resistance: David Shultz’s Story of Vindication

    Displays of Outrage and Resistance: David Shultz’s Story of Vindication
    2026/08/26

    Arrested and charged three times for public displays of solidarity with Palestine, David Shultz talks about the continuous persecution by Toronto Police and the Crown, as well as the the repercussions that came with it.

    He takes us through his multiple arrests, each more egregious than the last - culminating with an eventual trial, and full acquittal, for wearing a prop sword.

    David's case really calls into question our ability to exercise our Charter Rights while protesting for Palestine, and the willingness of the Crown to use their resources towards incapacitating activists, despite having such low conviction rates.

    Its also a discussion on the bias that's been crafted within policing, the impunity to which they're able to make baseless arrests; and the uneven application of the law.

    Together, with host Jessa McLean, they compare and contrast other recent arrests and speculate how Mark Carney's new legislation, Bill C9, will impact future cases.

  • Criminalized Mutual Aid: Food Not Bombs Over the Years

    Criminalized Mutual Aid: Food Not Bombs Over the Years
    2026/08/18

    Keith McHenry, author, activist and co-founder of Food Not Bombs, shares great stories of how he and a few friends started the grassroots mutual aid network that eventually spread to over 1,000 cities in 65 countries worldwide.

    With very few resources, a small group of activists were able to feed the people around them while also building a movement against war profiteering. As he takes us through his years of organizing, Keith also provides tips and tricks you can take to your own community: How they set up soup lines to maximize impact. How they shared knowledge, even in an era before the internet. How they make decisions on consensus while maintaining focus on taking action. How they used the heavy handed tactics of the police to expand their own reach. And how they persevered through years of being targeted by strategic incapacitation.

    In fact, what most attests to the power of mutual aid and the model Food not Bombs uses is the amount of effort the state puts into criminalizing them. Keith details some of his interactions with state agents, from street cops stealing their food, to infiltrators and ‘honey traps’ working to derail the movement.

    Like his new book, Soup Streets, this episode is a fascinating and resourceful collection of stories that takes you through decades of political change, while also demonstrating that nothing much has changed in terms of how the state responds to anti-capitalist models that gain traction.

  • Getting the Receipts: Canadian Universities' Secret Chats and Networks

    Getting the Receipts: Canadian Universities' Secret Chats and Networks
    2026/08/05
    Journalists Euan Thomson and David Slater tell us how they uncovered secret chats between Canadian universities, and national networks of school administrators and police - all seemingly tasked with infringing on the Charter Rights of students, and dismantling Palestinian Solidarity encampments, before they even started.It took Euan and David almost two years to compile all of the documents they needed to write their recent piece for The Breach, Canadian universities set up a secret network to crack down on student Palestine demonstrators, largely due to sustained efforts to deny access to, what should be, public documents. We hear how they worked as a team, sharpened their tactics and caught many of these institutions contradicting themselves.The episode also includes a discussion on the degradation of access to public documents across Canada. From new legislation, to the normalization of secrecy in public institutions, the powerful are finding new ways to avoid accountability.Its really two stories in one! We hear the details of those secret chats and the lengths to which universities worked together to prevent protests from even happening, and then violently shutting them down when they did. But we also get to hear how these same players work when it comes to operating in secret and covering their tracks.Hosted by: Jessa McLeanProduced by: Santiago Helou QuinteroCall to Action: Related Episodes:Student Suppression by Any Means (Mar 2025)Raheleh's Story (June 2026) Part 1 of our miniseries on the University of Calgary encampment clearing Holding Institutions Accountable (Oct 2025) Lawyer Dimitri Lascaris on students' $10 million lawsuit against the Toronto Metropolitan UniversityMore Resources: Drug Data Decoded: University of Calgary destroyed records related to May 9 police violence against protestersThe Orchard: UCalgary Palestine encampment's fate was sealed before a single tent was pitched, documents revealAlberta’s Bill 34 attacks the public’s right to know | The NarwhalSupreme Court of Canada | Access to Information and Protection of Privacy in Canadian DemocracyThe Breach: Canadian universities set up a secret network to crack down on student Palestine demonstratorsFind even more of our content on SUBSTACK.All of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.
