20th Toronto picket this year
Gregg was counting up the Toronto pickets this year and it came to 19.
Not wanting to leave it at an odd number, Arel, Gregg, the Unknown
picketer and I put in a short picket Sat afternoon in spite of it
being a bit nippy. As usual I was across the street.
The org was in total non confront. Gregg only had one of them even
say a word to him. Arel had an interesting conversation with a guy
who claimed to be a son of the Rev. Leslie Grove. He said the Rev had
preached against Scientology. A woman mentioned that she had a horror
storks from former members to tell and Arel suggested she put them on
the net.
The people who came by were highly supportive. I would estimate we
gave out 150-200 flyers, which is darn good for it being that cold.
The org called the cops again, but this time the cop who responded
just drove by, checked out the picket from the warmth of his car,
waved and drove on.
