I'd just like to say I've been to enough protests of various topics that I have, in the past, seen anarchists, black block types, etc. I know what they look like.
I saw them before the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and another time in Vancouver at a Climate protest. In both cases they were a tiny TINY portion of the crowd and stuck out like a sore thumb and have never, in my experience, ever been acting in connection with the overall group. They are their own thing.

Morning coffee at Nemesis, with strategically framed Harbour Centre in the background.
I have a new coworking desk. Haven’t had space here in #Vancouver #Gastown for 8 years, and before that was somewhere in the area for 12 years.

Encampment at Vancouver Island University in the Commons outside the Library. Appears well organized and peaceful. About 6 tents a couple tables. Some flags and signs. I saw 5 or so people, all looked like student-age.
#FreePalestine #VIU

A scene showing two tents, and a Palestinian flag in a grassy area surrounded by trees. There is a large Palestine Solidarity Movement sign up against a cedar tree.

The benchmark real estate price for Single Family homes in my region (Port Alberni and West Coast of Vancouver Island, Canada) has risen 78% in the past 5 years. From an average purchase price of $295,900 to $528,400.
