*The space is regrettably not wheelchair accessible*

Since the beginning of time, the summer season has been associated with the emptying of closets and other storage areas. Ottawans usually celebrate this event by flocking to the Glebe in large numbers, but Glebeites are not the only ones with cool stuff lying around their places. This year, Exile Infoshop will prove to the world that there is more to garage sales than what the glebe has to offer by holding our own first ever punk rock garage sale/craft fair!*

Folks from around town will be opening up their hearts and closets and filling the shop with their pre-loved treasures at rock bottom prices! Others will be making their art available to you to check out and own a piece of for a decent price. It’s gonna be a madhouse! So, if you’re looking to pick up a few cheap books, CDs, old punk rock (and not so punk) vinyl, shirts, patches, pins, baked vegan goods, DIY wallets, and pretty much anything else that might be lying in the closets and basements of Ottawa, come check out the sale. We’ll even be selling a vintage, 1990s copy of Ottawa hardcore legends, XtolchocX!!!

*The event is of course not limited to punk rock paraphernalia.
There’ll be stuff for everyone, promise!

Are you tired of Glebites hogging all the garage sale glory?

Christian from Vancouver/Montreal will be speaking

The ongoing struggle against the 2010 Olympic games, instigated in 2003,
is one of the major links between the defense of the earth and support for
basic struggles for rights in BC. These Olympic games will accelerate the
process of devastation.

The Olympics are but another facet of the capitalist, colonialist,
patriarchal and imperialist war that is destroying the earth and our
communities, especially indigenous communities.

This often obscured fact is very evident to us.

Corporate sponsors, the elite and mass media are united to promote the
games, which are too often used to justify domination everywhere.

This is why we are mobilizing to stop them, just like we are mobilizing to
put an end to exploitation everywhere.

Tournée anti-olympiques a Ottawa, Samedi, Le 13 de Juin

contacte : mattm-b at resist.ca

La campagne des luttes contre les Olympiques de 2010 qui dure depuis 2003
et continue est en ce moment au BC un des principaux liens dans la
continuité de la défense de la terre et du vivant en général. Ces
Olympiques accélèrent tous les processus de dévastation.

Les Olympiques ne sont qu’un autre événement de la guerre capitaliste,
colonialiste, patriarcale, impérialiste qui ne cesse de détruire la
terre, la majorité d’entre nous et particulièrement nos camarades
indigènes.

Cette réalité pourtant si évidente nous est constamment cachée.

Des compagnies commanditaires des Olympiques aux médias de masse, les
élites s’unissent pour promouvoir ces “jeux” qui ne sont qu’un important
moment de la restructuration constante de la domination partout.

C’est pourquoi nous nous mobilisons pour les arrêter comme nous le faisons
pour mettre fin à ce monde d’exploitation généralisée.
