What You Should Know About “A.R.A.” (Anti-Racist Action)

Apparently, without an in-depth investigation, the Board of Education has decided to permit the facilities of Harbord Collegiate to be used by a radical leftist organization calling itself “Anti-Racist Action.” A check with the Intelligence Bureau of the Metropolitan Toronto Police would have verified some rather disturbing facts:

In January, 1993, hundreds of these leftists, their faces covered with ski masks, attacked mounted police and their horses, pelting them with eggs, rocks and wooden sticks.
In June 1993, over 200 terrorists, their faces covered with ski masks and proudly waving ARA banners attacked and vandalized the home of a political opponent in east end Toronto, smashing windows, throwing paint, cherry bombs, human excrement, and even a child’s tricycle through a broken window.
In December 1995, about two dozen ARA supporters broke into a private meeting being held at the Europe Restaurant on Bloor Street, throwing milk on items on a book table, spitting on attendees, and physically assaulting an elderly woman. They ignored the owner’s requests to leave, and only vacated the premises when the police were called.
ARA supporters have repeatedly attacked the home of Toronto publisher and artist, Ernst Zündel, again with paint bombs, rocks, eggs and human excrement.
ARA posters advocating arson and violence, and threatening death to their opposition are visible throughout the city, plastered on newspaper boxes, bus shelters and mailboxes. Although it has never been proven that ARA are directly responsible for the arson attack on Ernst Zündel’s premises, ARA posters have at the very least, definitely advocated the making and use of Molotov cocktails.
When Metro Police Constable Todd Baylis was murdered two summers ago, ARA activists on their Upper Cut radio show on CIUT, wildly applauded his murder, clapping and cheering this “victory” over “social injustice” and oppression.” And to underscore their enthusiasm, they immediately played the rap “song” Cop Killer.
ARA activists have repeatedly harassed intimidated and attacked — even stabbed — their perceived opponents on the streets of the city and throughout the Toronto transit system, often attacking lone individuals because they were wearing the wrong color shoelaces.

The activities of this violent neo-Marxist gang of hooligans have been widely documented in numerous newspaper accounts, in both the Toronto Star and the Toronto Sun. As well, their antics have been the subject of the lead item featured on newscasts of every television station in the Metro Toronto area.
