Protesters gear up for Bush

Ottawa — Protesters are frantically organizing to yank the welcome mat out from under U.S. President George W. Bush when he arrives here Tuesday.

Sporadic graffiti heralds what could be a nasty reception as he starts a two-day visit to Canada.

The black scrawl spray painted across a walkway near Parliament Hill uses a familiar obscenity to tell Bush to stay away.

A noon-hour rally Tuesday is expected to draw thousands of marchers anxious to vent their views on everything from the war in Iraq to plans for a U.S. anti-missile defence shield. Smaller events and candlelight vigils are planned in cities and towns across Canada.

yay!! I wish I could go home for that!!

:yourock:

Probably not at all.

Monkey with hands over his eyes.

And will not give him a warm welcome. :scared:

To make up for all the trash Canada has shippped to Michigan landfills we could call it quits by shipping our President.

so your trade is not at all equal. Now, if you will take all our faux conservatives and we can put bush on a melting ice flow, you've got a deal!

Are there any ice floes left?

I don't know about the rest of the town, but quite a few showed up to see F 9-11 when MM screened it there.

I loved seeing all the Kerry signs there!

To descend on Ottawa. Many are working frantically to get everyone there in time.

I'll believe that when I see it, Ottawa barely has a million people. I wish I could be there, though.. but my boyfriend will be, woohoo!

Tamara Lorincz, a spokeswoman for the Halifax Peace Coalition, is promising a “very bold and creative action” but said it will be peaceful.

“We would actually prefer to welcome President Bush with open arms but we absolutely cannot,” she said.

“We must bear in mind that the United States has launched this illegal war and occupation that has slaughtered at minimum 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children.

“Wherever Bush is going to be, we are going to have a mass convergence of people there.”

A Montreal coalition, including social, Muslim and student groups, is mobilizing to protest against the visit of U.S. President Bush next Tuesday. Demonstrations are planned in Montreal and Ottawa by the same group that rallied more than 100,000 Quebecers in a protest against the war in Iraq in the spring of last year.

Coalition spokesman Raymond Legault says the 15 organizations involved in this latest mobilization strongly reject the policies of President Bush. He says they reject Bush's position on issues such as workers rights, women's rights, racial profiling and refugees. Legault also accuses Prime Minister Martin of being soft towards the U.S

One spokesman for the Muslim Council of Montreal complains that Bush considers himself to be "president of the world."

Connie Wilkins of Free Dominion is baffled by the extent of American-bashing among Canadians and even some politicians. She co-founded the on-line forum that offers about 5,000 members a place for right-wing views but is not officially linked to any political party, she said.

“We stand behind the United States and we stand behind their President,” Ms. Wilkins said in an interview. “We consider them as our allies and their country as our friend.

“If it had been the CN Tower that had been bombed instead of the World Trade Center, the U.S. would have been right there.”

Well, do you think you'd have LET the CN Tower get bombed? And, anyway, it SUPPOSEDLY was hit by planes, CONNIE--or was that a Freudian SLIP?

:yourock:

Give 'em hell.
