   Does anyone in the #Toronto area remember #GlobalAware? There seems to be little web coverage left of the place. I used to visit it a lot. #InfoShop

     @ombres omg yeah that'll be the one! It's long gone by now I think but I always visited whenever I was in the area. I just can't seem to find any photos or articles of the place. But it was a nifty part of media activist history!

     @MediaActivist when did it exist? I remember there was an infoshop in the Kensington Market area up to, like, shortly before the G20 summit in 2010 I think

     @mart0 I think you're right. There was definitely some questionable shit going on too for sure, sadly!

     If it was the infoshop-ish type store that also had a lot of conspiracy theory books, then yes. But maybe I'm thinking of something else.
