The Dope Poet Society has been politically active from its inception . They have performed at countless protests and political events across North America . In 1993 they performed their anti-sexist song “ Lady Killer ” at North York City Hall for that year 's commemoration of the École Polytechnique massacre . In 1994 they performed and aggressively participated in rallies organized by Anti-Racist Action Network ( ARA ) and other local groups with the express purpose of physically confronting neo-Nazis that had been organizing and harassing people of colour in Toronto 's East end . In the late 90s the group was active in a culture jamming group known as the Toronto Media Collective , profiled in Naomi Klein ’s book No Logo . In 2000 members of the group founded the Toronto Hip-Hop Cultural Arts Centre ( THC ) and were actively involved in the centre ’s programs . The THC hosted community events involving all the elements of HipHop and offered computer access , homework assistance , general advice and job counseling to local youth . The organization faced racially motivated attacks and police harassment . The centre closed in 2005
