Angel >> The dope-selling activist entrepreneurs behind Club Compassion With financial support from the Bloc Pot and verbal and moral support from the Bloc Quebecois, a group of local activists have opened Club Compassion, a store on Rachel east whose mission is to sell dope for therapeutic purposes. But the "therapeutic" thing is just a cover: in reality, they're trying to push the outer edges of the political envelope and force the total legalization of marijuana. The cops insist they'll bust the joint; if so, Club Compassion and the cause it promotes will get even more publicity. Total legalization, here we come.

Insect >> Fascist skinheads who beat up blacks, queers and anti-fascist skinheads Last summer a group of eight neo-nazis went on a violent spree. The police caught up to them; they now face a total of 240 charges, and are headed to court next Tuesday, October 12. According to the Montreal group Anti-Racist Action, during their pre-trial hearings last March their fascist buddies were on hand to taunt witnesses and harass victims. ARA is planning to be there as well this time to make sure that doesn't happen again. Those interested in joining ARA can contact them via email at aramontreal@hotmail.com.
