Toronto held its second anti-Trump protest in as many days outside of the U.S. Consulate General on University Avenue today. The rally was attended by thousands despite the frigid temperature. The anti-Trump protesters came from many walks of life: liberalists, left-wing and centrist people, Socialists, Communists, Black Lives Matter (BLM), labour unions, mainstream population and visible minorities, and groups from many religious groups.

This is a watercolor painting I made some 9 months before Barack Obama was elected as President of the United States the 4th of November 2008. (I uploaded the picture on Flickr the 3rd of April 2008...)
Mr. Obama gave me new hopes for a better world.

Yes we can
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Yes we can
When it comes tomorrow
Yes we can
We have no time to borrow
Just understand
Closeness to love’s heart
Is all at our command
This heart is made to cure
And set up dreams come true
Take away time’s insecure
And make some time for you
Don’t let this heart now cry
With timeless falling rain
Or love from it say goodbye
Because its love was in pain
Yes we can
When it comes tomorrow
Yes we can
We have no time to borrow…
All is happening right now
To offer new peace its try
Making it together somehow
Wherever true affluence lie
Yes this we must all work on
To discover lives ingenuous gift
Before our conducts is gone
Into days of desperate shift
Yes we can
When it comes tomorrow
Yes we can
We have no time to borrow
Just understand
Closeness to love’s heart
Is all at our command...

Our Education Document of the Month for October is this set of photographs of Samuel Jules Celestine Edwards (1857?-1894) that were registered for copyright shortly after his death.
The son of liberated West Indian slaves, Edwards travelled from St Johns, Antiguia through America and Scotland before settling in London. He studied theology and medicine and published several books on Christianity and Anti-Racism.

A young boy with tears in his eyes as his mother gives a powerful speech about systemic racism outside the US embassy during a Black Lives Matter Demonstration. He is holding a Black Panther action figure of the recently deceased Chadwick Boseman. London, 29 August 2020
When the fascist Scottish Defence League announced they were going to hold a protest today against the building of a mosque for the local Islamic community a counter demo was swiftly organised. When the fascists did arrive they were swiftly bundled into a mini bus (yes, it was that huge) by the police to the boos and jeers of a much, much larger crowd. The counter demo then marched into the centre of the city where two sides were kept well apart. I don't think there was any trouble and I know which side had the better of the day.
You've got to stand up to fascism.

MarchAgainstRacism put 12,000 on streets in London, Glasgow & Cardiff to say #AllRefugeesWelcome & fight for a #WorldAgainstRacism
Many of the speakers across the platform of #MarchAgainstRacism here in Britain highlighted, in the wake of the outbreak of war in Ukraine and millions of refugees fleeing the war, the racism that was being faced by Black and Asian people at the borders as they were turned away. They also drew attention to the hypocrisy of many establishment figures who have talked of the shock of war in a “civilised society”, and speakers also pointed to the stark contrast of attitude and response to black and ethnic minority refugees who have fled wars in the present and past. Another key theme raised by many speakers was solidarity with Child Q in wake of the horrific racist strip searching of a school student by police and the outcry of rage in response.

This photo was taken during the March Against Racism in central London on Saturday on 18 March. Many activists were furious at the new anti-immigration legislation which is clearly in breach of international law.
Although there are no legal routes available to refugees from many Asian and African countries suffering from conflict and murderous repressive regimes, the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, is overseeing legislation which will criminalize refugees risking their lives at sea to reach relative safety. They will now have their asylum claims denied as inadmissible.
As marchers reached Downing Street, Braverman was thousands of miles away in Rwanda, reaffirming the UK's commitment to illegally expelling refugees to the impoverished country, which itself has a poor human rights record.
I asked ChatGPT to write 10 reasons why welcoming refugees is beneficial to society. Although I share many people's concerns about what the impact of this technology might be, I was fairly impressed by its reply -
1. Boosts economy: Refugees have the potential to contribute to the economy by starting businesses, creating jobs, and adding to the workforce.
2. Increases cultural diversity: Refugees come from different cultural backgrounds and can enrich society's cultural diversity by sharing their traditions, customs, and experiences.
3. Fosters empathy and understanding: Welcoming refugees can help increase empathy and understanding among people from different backgrounds, leading to harmony and greater social cohesion.
4. Strengthens our humanitarian values: Taking in refugees is a reflection of our commitment to human rights and humanitarian obligations, and it demonstrates solidarity with those who are suffering and seeking safety.
5. Tackles brain drain in developing countries: Some refugees may have high levels of education and skills that are needed in their home countries. By providing opportunities for them to work and contribute in host countries, they can then return and help rebuild their communities.
6. Reduces conflict: By providing a safe haven for refugees, host communities can play a role in reducing the levels of conflict and instability that can lead to forced displacement.
7. Brings new perspectives and ideas: Refugees can bring fresh perspectives, ideas, and expertise that can help drive innovation and progress in various fields.
8. Strengthens global solidarity: By welcoming refugees, host countries demonstrate a commitment to global solidarity and cooperation, which can help build bridges across borders.
9. Helps to maximize their potential: Providing support and resources to refugees can help maximize their potential and enable them to contribute to their host communities in meaningful ways.
10. Enhances international relationships: Building positive relationships with refugees and their home countries can lead to new opportunities for cultural exchange, trade, and diplomacy, which can facilitate greater cooperation between nations.
Apologies if some of the photographs in this series are clearly overexposed, which is due to my own stupidity and negligence as I forgot to reset the white balance after some indoor photography.
"Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding the resignation of the prime minister, Najib Razak, over his alleged involvement in a multibillion-dollar misappropriation scandal.
Clad in yellow shirts and unfazed by arrests of activists and opposition leaders just hours before the rally, protesters marched from various spots towards the heart of Kuala Lumpur amid tight security."

"Racism springs from the lie that certain human beings are less than fully human.
It's a self-centered falsehood that corrupts our minds into believing we are right to treat
others as we would not want to be treated." Alveda King
