jack FLASH! Council Consorts with Collective Confusion reigned last Monday night as the Peterborough Coalition Against Poverty (PCAP)’s Water Street Squatters presented demands to Peterborough City Council. The presentation was met with quiet attentiveness. Then Mayor Sutherland rose, whooping, and shouted “Come on, Comrades!”. She then lead a raucous march to the Squat, where the entire Council joined in the occupation of the building. Passers by stared in stunned disbelief, as city leaders chanted obscenity-laced slogans against the forces of oppression. Councilors Margeree Edwards and Bill Juby produced tin whistles and played The Internationale, accompanied by John Prichard on tabla. Upon reaching the Water Street location, Council members painted a psychedelic mural on the front of the building and began plans for a vegan soup kitchen. The newest members of the collective were vocal in condemnation of the anti-PCAP stance taken by local media giants Peterborough This Week and the Peterborough Examiner. “We need an alternative!” Comrade Sutherland asserted.
