I don't like Harper, I don't like Bush

if they weren't just doing lines and swapping wives I don't like it ::

(I was originally implying Bush is likely teaching Harper Fear Mongering 101 so Canada will become more manageable for the republicans after our next election, just so you know)

oh I gotcha.. yeah.. weird that Harper would get special treatment eh

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

thatpatguy, sound very omminus and spooky to me... fear mongering lessons perhaps

standard protest gear is usually a tight weave scarf you can wear over your face, bring some vinegar in your pocket to wet the scarf with a bit in case of tear gas... helps make it a bit more breathable though it doesn't help your eyes (goggles?)

only thing is television news will call you an anarchist for trying to breathe ::

90% of everything I say shouldn't be taken seriously I can be really sarcastic when I'm not careful..

so no fear mongering on my part..

I don't know about the Bay meggo.. but I think that Taylor Irving (is that the name?) shop in the market can hook you up with some heady gasmasks.. no joke.. and WWII helmets!

well that makes sense.. by paying for the sticker you were freeing yourself of your own money

check this paisley.. Harper got a private meeting with Bush (freaky) but both Layton and Duceppe (sp?) only got short public meetings.. wtf?

anyway.. Meggo.. I'd love to join you but if Nat (my wife) is downtown I gotta boot it hoom to let the dog out.. but have fun eh.. I'd love to be there

just got an email from my wife, she works on Laurier.. she's heading down to rideau st. too bad she doesn't have 1) a camera 2) the cell phone..

oh well.. I hope she stays safe

I say we start a pool to see how late it is before Stapes gets to go home

one more from Stapes.. I wonder what's happening in front of the Chateau..

another pic from our man Stapes.. this time from the front lines it seems.. nice one man

if you check that Hill photo you'll see everyone has left the Hill.. I wonder where they are headed

looks like they've hit the hill

you know we are supposed to get that big storm this evening right.. the weather system is coming up from Texas..

dismissed as coincidence...

this is what my wife just emailed me:

I just got back from lunch....HUGE protest march was going west on laurier. Lots of people, lots of signs (oil for blood, bush isn't welcome in canada, bush is the terrorist, etc.) catchy sing-song of "how many kids did you kill today". I found it all to be quite impressive. Lots of hippy-looking kids for the most part, but all ages, grandparents included

this guy had the estimate at around 3,500 - 4,000

apparently they got a real hippie jam going on now too.. drums, bag pipes, chanting, cheering..

they aren't at the Hill yet though.. here is a recent photo..

so I'm not sure where the party is.. still on Laurier?

My wife works on Laurier.. I sent her an email asking if she could see what's what.. no word yet though

here is the next pic from Stapes.. no finger this time

you don't live in Hull anymore

here is the first image in from our man in the field, Stapes..

umm.. you got your finger in the shot eh

awesome.. thanks guys

Thanks for the links ThatPatGuy. (Can I call you TPG for short?)

yeah that's cool

once Stapes can get his photo phone working he's going to start emailing me some pics and I'll post them up for everyone

hey LR.. you can catch what's going on on the Hill here http://www.parliamenthill.gc.ca/text/hillcam_e.html

and the CBC has this blog kinda thing going on as well

http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/continentaldivide/moore.html

not the same as being there.. but better than a kick in the arse

so.. I'm heading to montreal this weekend for some R&R and I was wondering if you guys could recommend some good head shops to hit.. any type of place a skank would enjoy dropping some coin. thanks in advance

hey stapes.. I can set you up with ftp access to my site.. you can post there.. PM me and we'll set it up
