Perfect winter rallying weather. A good array of Liberal and NDP MPs are apparently attending, the Raging Grannies, a local comedian and free hot chocolate! I've been waiting all month for this and I can't wait to see what the turnout is going to be like.Omarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058734544373976550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-4974872944368954252010-01-22T19:57:30.235-05:002010-01-22T19:57:30.235-05:00thanks for this post, Steve V.

Many people have taken the time to learn about issues they previously ignored; people across the country from all parties, of all income levels, disciplines, and degrees of education have been working together for a common good; a network (rough, but refining itself on a daily basis) has formed; sub-groups determined to pursue various concerns related to democratic reform have been created...<br /><br />We can keep up the momentum as long as we don't look at this as an isolated event, but rather the beginning of a movement toward reform.<br /><br />Regardless of numbers tomorrow, we need to remind ourselves of what many on the facebook site have been saying - how they feel empowered, how they are amazed that so many came together so quickly for a common cause, that we have quite obviously caused the government to take notice, despite their claims that we are nothing, and they are nervous.<br /><br />We have some serious backers, here, ones with high stakes in how this turns out: unions, high profile special interest groups, support of the opposition. We have to remember not to let ourselves be used by them, and we can do it. I have seen hope for the first time this week in people who had given up until this happened.<br /><br />We've already succeeded. But we can't rest on our laurels, the numbers reflected in facebook,900ft Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882830831096870992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-13683797843971001912010-01-22T17:43:30.751-05:002010-01-22T17:43:30.751-05:00"What would be a good message for a sign at t..."What would be a good message for a sign at that rally?

Like, seriously, I think that another reason Harper keeps trying to pull this crap in the winter is because it takes a lot more passion to get large numbers out this time of year. (On the bright side, passion can also keep us warm tomorrow. Chant, sing, yell and jump around to keep warm, and you'll have the makings of a great protest)Dan Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748983441289138048noreply@blogger.com
