Guelph, Ontario: Anarchists paint bomb statue of John GaltI haven't heard anything about this. Did it happen? Was it cleaned up before anyone could notice?

In the wee hours of the morning of August 4 anarchist settlers used a ketchup bottle to apply red metal paint to a statue of John Galt in front of City Hall. August 4 was Guelph’s first ever John Galt Day. The town was awash in festivities and celebrations honouring John Galt and the plan he developed for the founding of the city of Guelph back in 1827. But who is this John Galt character?

The statue isn't painted at this very moment, but we're investigating whether it was over the weekend. If there's any truth to it, we'll have something in the paper tomorrow.

Thanks Magda. I did a search on Google and found that this report had been picked up and replicated by numerous websites. If it wasn't true, they certainly got a bunch of pr for nothing.
