Haha, love the "I can has cheezburger" pics.
On that note, I think its a good thing no one got Anonymous involved in this... you'd get publicity, but no one would take it seriously. (thousands of people wearing masks and joking around is not good for a cause) |

said by ajb62787 :So what was the outcome of the protest? You don't understand... Americans 'protest' or 'demonstrate'. Canadians 'rally'. We wouldn't want our government to think we're rude by demanding something. 
Basically the goal was to draw attention. There was enough media there to accomplish that. Beyond that, I don't know. |

Edit: Thanks Gabe. I tried explaining lolcat to someone... it's hard!  But it was really funny at first because they thought he was illiterate.  But then I thought that perhaps passerbys would think the same thing.  |

You can get right in someone's face and they don't even know you're there . Honestly I don't remember the aperture for that DOF; probably a fluke. I didn't have a lot of time to be artistic; people kept walking through the shot. |

I was at the rally. I met Rocky...(briefly.. but had to shake his hand in recognition of all he has done to promote this and the excellent service he provides to us TekSavvyers) and the rally was a success. 
I feel very good I could show up. I'm glad I could make a small difference. It was like going to church .. although it's a chore going in ... you feel good when you get out ... LOL
To all those who could show... I applaud you ... especially those who bused in.
Regards,
CK

There were about 250 people there +- 50 at any given time.
Mauril Belanger was the typical liberal (being late and as someone pointed out giving a silly anti-climatic non-commital speech).
The VP of Capital Freenet took him up on the question of wether he would support the Charlie Angus bill tomorro .. and he side-stepped it with the usual finess of a true politician (puke bags anyone ?).
Charlie Angus's speech was very motivational and he came across as being genuine.
It would have been great if more from Ottawa (government brown-baggers) could have shown. |

Even though the numbers weren't great it wasn't a disaster. The point was made.
Now we have to wait for the NDP Bill or the CRTC to move.
If the CRTC fails in its task of serving the public I expect a really large protest.
Rocky has done us a great service. This is only the beginning! |
