A dispatch from the front: Protesting Scientology's anti-psych quackery - 2018-09-10

There's always been strong interest in Scientology's controversies from concerned Canadians. We've written at length about some of them, and we've noticed an uptick in Canadian activism at Facebook in recent months. One of our longtime readers, M.C. Mayo, who goes by EmmaDaoust here at the Bunker, sent us an interesting dispatch from her adventures this weekend after she learned that Scientology's unhinged anti-psychiatry front group, Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), was opening a display at a public library in Toronto. We thought you'd want to see her account.
Mark Lawson found the event posted on the CCHR Canada Facebook page. Some of the Facebook group Canada Against Scientology posted comments there, which were of course eventually deleted. Mark put out a call for protesters and a few of us signed up.
There were no notices about the event posted in the library proper - until the day of the opening - and it wasn't listed on the library website.
