Toronto Ontario
Canada
May 5, 2001 I celebrated my 50th birthday with what I believe was the 50th picket of the Toronto Org or Scn. Event in Toronto since May of 1997.

{Look what punching Roland in the nose brought in, eh OSA?!} Picketers: Slippery Jim, Mike Argue, Ron Sharp, Kaeli, Gregg.
Observer/photographer: Zeratul Picket Count; 250 Xenu Specials
Picket Duration: 2 hours. 1PM to 3.PM
This was the quietest picket since the beginning of 1999.

Scientology only fielded three women and Tom Schuck eventually on video camera.

Unfortunately for the Co$ one of the women was the infamous Scienopathic Criminal Jacky Matz. (Domestic Espionage and copyright terrorist.] I had lots of fun pointing out her criminality to passersby, as well as the Toronto Org conviction. It was also the main topic on the reverse of our Roland Xenu Specials. What an interesting coincidence.

This was a wonderful true Canadian picket. They gave out their fliers and called us criminals and perverts and we gave out our fliers which revealed Xenu and showed the criminality of the Co$. We traded quips and generally kept things polite. The OSA Volunteer Goon Squad made no appearance. Perhaps after their organized attacks on me last time, all caught on video, their legal advisors finally decided to curb their violence. Perhaps they were all unavailable. Andy Hill did put in an appearance at the very last minute as we were leaving. He managed to tell a passerby I was a big liar. But he could not tell what lies I had told.

Early in the picket Slippery Jim and I were able to have some comm with the handful of students on course. These poor wights were outside running out their cancer engrams. We made sure they understood it was the Body Thetans and Clusters they needed to worry about. And the Flying Saucers and evil Aliens as well as the Revenge of Xenu in Episode # 7,568,977,001.

All in all a very civilized time was had by all.

If this was by design then hats off to the Co$ for finally getting the idea that Canada is a country of Free Speech.

June looks to be a hot picket environmentally. One wonders if the OSA Volunteer Goon Squad has been side lined by order of the brass.

I and others have noted the Toronto based sock puppets have been, with a single post exception, totally silent since April 15.

This was the date of last months picket.

"It's interesting that Scientologists cannot seem to differentiate between:

----individuals:

picketing an organization to voice their opinion on its behavior, and -----an organization:

picketing individuals for voicing their opinion."

Yes, it was very quiet--very nice not to have to have eyes on the back of your head and keep a watch out for other picketers.

Rev Al (One Week Course) Buttnor was briefly spotted in the back of the org.

One of the more successful lines used to entice people to take our flyers was "We're not Scientologists". After a while, Jacky Matz called out "Thank God!" in response. Yes indeed, thank God we're not Scientologists...

The shorter unannounced pickets seem to leave the staff wondering if we're going to come after lunch. So there was a little peeking to check that we were still at lunch. We did wander over to have a look after lunch. Pretty quiet except for Andy Hill lounging in the front door.

We waved.

Ron of that ilk.
