Last but not least, ZNet - Great political commentary by some of the smartest people out there: Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Michael Albert, Rahul Mahajan, Robert Jensen, and tons of other people. Great read to keep your sanity in times of political turmoil.
Cheap Photocopying in TorontoNot a link per se, because they don't have a webpage. But really, I have to refer these guys. Three Cent Copy Centre in Toronto offers 3 cent copies per side. You can do self-serve, but if you come in with flats, they will handle the copying for you at no extra charge. Hand them your flats and tell them you want them folded and stapled. They will scan them in their big honking copier, press all the necessary buttons, and when they press the Copy button, the machine will magically spit out folded and stapled zines in a single operation. Isn't that bloody amazing?
