Toronto Picket Report 2001-12-01
At one point I said "Hey Gregg, that's hate speech." "???" "Yeah,
Scientology *hates* it!" :^)
We did get a lot of people saying "Yeah, I agree with you!" Nice, but
perhaps we should try to harness that sentiment. Even a few of those
people writing city council and asking why the Toronto Org gets large
break on its property tax might do something. A hand-out with a fact
sheet and sample letter might be an idea. (The Toronto Org got the
break on grounds of "poverty". Odd how no other failing businesses get
such a break, and since the Org gives 10% [before costs] of income to
the parent church, I doubt it could ever make money. The Canadian
government says that it isn't a charity.)
We also got a fair number of honking affirmations. (I could do without
the noise...)
The Woman Who Would Be Victim was an incredibly bad actor. Andy Hill
was taping part of the performance, but from way down the side of the
building. The only camera she was playing for was Gregg's. In future,
I'd recommend just walking around her, but ignoring her otherwise. If
she wants to keep fleeing from Gregg by standing in front of him, it'd
make a funnier video than "dizzy" Mary.
Interesting facts: The $cientology "Chapel" has only one exit, and
right now the interior is piled with furniture -- the fire codes are
being seriously bent. Other codes too--since the org is eight stories,
they need two elevators, and one has been broken for at least five
years. The majority of windows on the 2nd floor along the front are
cracked, and I'm sure they fixed them all last year. Either Avenue Road
Roofing (WISE) did a bad job, or those blown body thetans pack a lot of
mass!
Ron of that ilk.
