Three upcoming events - please see below and circulate.
*A BIG thank you to those who participated/helped with the very big,
peaceful protest during Bush's visit in Halifax. Over 4000 people on a
weekday morning. The turnout was incredible, but sadly the media didn't
cover it very well, the CBC particularly did a terrible job. The media
also did a poor job covering the 30 protests taking place across the
country on Tuesday, if you are upset, please email: ombudsman@cbc.ca
