Canadian Pacific Rail Attacked in Toronto - Molotovs and Fires
Canadian Pacific train.
The following is a communique posted on various sites and
listservs.
"In an attempt to cause a s--tload of economic damage to the infrastructure of the CP rail main-line, we cut down
two telephone poles across the tracks just to the north of their main intermodal yard outside Toronto.
A pile of fallen trees was ignited with gasoline across the tracks, and we molotov'd one of those weird grey box things that look
pretty important and are full of electrical s--t.
We also tied copper wire across the tracks to signal the blockage so no one would get hurt.
That was way more exciting than a turkey dinner!
It's s--t cool that all you people been bringing the ruckus all over the country to mess with the Olympics and its Spirit Train
business.
That exhibition of nationalism and colonization has got all the rich motherf--kers greasin' the pockets of development tycoons.
Sure this s--t's been loomin' round all our hoods for a while, but you throw in the Olympic Games and crackers like Bob Rennie can't
get enough.
This spectacle is quickening the pace of yet another yuppie takeover.
It ain't gonna stop if we ask it nicely; it didn't before the Olympics and sure won't after!
For us the Spirit Train is every train, they're all spreading "Olympic spirit", or more like the spirit of capitalism:
construction materials, military equipment, useless consumer products, tourists.
Every ride on the rails is a ride for the same invasion that's been goin on since the railway was built to colonize this whole place.
This rail system has been developed and is utilized to serve our exploiters and enemies.
As long as the exploiters exist, infrastructure will always be their weapon.
So we wanna destroy it all... their railway, highways, cameras, telecommunications, it's all serving the masters and their police.
We're not interested in expressing our dissatisfaction at a symbolic part of the problem.
We want to actually dismantle the whole system and hit these cracker-capitalists where it hurts.
It's not just the Spirit Train; it's every train, the tracks, and the social structure they maintain!
This is solidarity with all the comrades raisin' hell wherever they live.
Keep the struggle burning locally, and your solidarity reaches globally.
This chaos was for the warriors everywhere who are still facing charges for their involvement in acts of resistance quite like this
one.
It don't matter how hard they come down on us cause there are too many of us waiting to explode.
Let's show'em what we can do and aim for our actual objective!
Every train stopped, every track untied, every jail destroyed!"
