I've just returned the favour. She's very big on freedom of expression, albeit from the waaaay rightwing end of the spectrum, so I sent her a message suggesting that if she found the events over the G20 protests in Toronto as appalling as any right-thinking ;) person would, she might consider joining the group, Canadians Demanding a Public Inquiry into Toronto G20.
She thanked me for the heads-up and said she would join.
But alas, it's not such an exclusive club this time. Membership just zoomed past 16,000 to nearly 16,500 from just over 11,000 this morning.
And there are some real movers and shakers in the group. Already a rally is planned for Canada Day.
Rally for a Public Inquiry Concerning the Actions at the G20
Date: Thursday, July 1, 2010
Time: 2:30pm - 11:30pm
Location: Queens Park (in front of the legislature)

Feet on the street time again.
TIME CHANGE: Rally begins at 5:30 p.m.

YAY!!! I can't go, *whine*, but in my town I can attend our Canada Day festivities all IN BLACK!
Is everyone going to wear black in front of the Legislature? I quit FB so dunno the plans, waah!
Thanks for the info. I've joined the group. There are over 18,000 members now.
There are protests also planned all over Canada on July 17th
