Kind of a silly/random question, but I was wondering if there are any leftist (anarchis/communist/anarcho-communist/marxist/anything left really) cafes around Toronto/GTA similar to the Red and Black Cafe?
As usual, I don't know where this thread goes :blink:
Thanks!

I'll ship some emails off to some friends in Toronto, although I doubt any would be open right now due to the riots. (Or maybe business would be booming...)

Would it be a good idea to open one? I'm thinking of doing it.

Only if you hire me :lol:
But yea, there seems to be some amount of left support, if not you'd definitely get the hipsters/hippies for business. The only forseeable issue is starbucks/coffee time/timmies being mean competitors.

This.
Partner with a legitimate roaster/buyer and you're set. Well, a leftist café shouldn't be any other way. You would gain customers simply on that basis, there are plenty of people that won't go to a café unless it's organic and fair trade beans, especially in a bigger city.
