You guys might want to check out the comic I am working on....
groups.msn.com/ZedsComics/shoebox.msnw
It's a comic book about the time that I worked at the Anarchist Bookstore in Kensignton Market in downtown Toronto. In the summer of 2005, a group of 'Street Kids' (punkers in their 20's) moved into the backyard and announced that they were taking it over by force. They argued that they were turning the backyard into a 'squat', and that we couldn't call the Police because the Police wouldn't help us. Then, these 'squatters' promptly invited all the local drug dealers to start plying their trade in the 'safety' of the backyard. This would be a good location, since it was so close to the 'Hot Box' marijuana cafe down the block. It is legal to smoke marijuana in Canada, but not to buy or sell it.
The rumours through the grapevine said that one or more of the 'squatters' in the back were agent provocteurs, hired by the Police to attract all of the local drug dealers into one enclosed area to make a massive bust, then frame the Anarchist bookstore as a 'front' for this activity. This way, the Police could kill two birds with one stone.
We ended up asking them all to leave, but this is a story about what could have happened.
