Mississauga Mobilizes to Mob on 'Spirit Train' Oct. 13

Press Release:

"DERAIL" THE SPIRIT TRAIN!

The Canadian Pacific Railway's (CP) "Spirit Train" is an Olympic propaganda machine spreading the ideals of capitalist colonialism across Turtle Island. The 2010 Winter Olympics are occurring on
unceded First Nations land in British Columbia where they are causing widespread environmental damages, and are resulting in a massive social housing expropriation in Vancouver.

The train was launched Sunday Sept. 21, 2008, in Port Moody, B.C. where it was successfully disrupted by activists from the Olympic Resistance Network (ORN). Embarrassingly for the sponsors, the Spirit Train is still rolling across the country and the ORN and local counterparts are calling for protests and actions to disrupt the Spirit Train as it stops at locations across 'Canada'.

What: Decentralized Rally & Demonstrations

When: Monday October 13, 1-8pm

Where: Cooksville Go Transit Station, 3210 Hurontario St, Mississauga

The Spirit Train will be leaving Sudbury after Saturday the 11th, and arriving in Mississauga sometime Monday morning. VANOC (the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee) and CP have a full days worth of propaganda and entertainment planned on a stage from 1-8pm. Protests and demonstrations need to occur throughout the day in order to disrupt the event. If VANOC plans to spread its "Olympic Spirit" in our community, we will be there to show people what the Olympics really stands for; capitalism and colonialism, and we will be there to show our Spirit of Resistance. As we get even closer to the date, an announcement will be made about a rally point (and time), likely at Union Station in Toronto.
