Coming Events: Counter Protest In Montreal

Montreal Alliance:

This Saturday March 17th at 1PM the usual gang of far leftists and radical Islamists will be hitting our streets on the 4th anniversary of the Iraq War. While they cloak themselves in the language if peace and the media takes them at their word, they actually support war, they are just on the other side. If any of you have every been to these rallies you will have noticed that there is no shortage of signs with messages such as “9/11 is an inside job” or “support the resistance in Afghanistan.” In essence these messages show that they do support violence only when it’s against our troops.
Below is a link to their leaflet, as can be seen they are very disappointed that the Taliban are not back in Afghanistan.
link.
If anyone is interested in counter protesting this event a few of us will be there with signs such as “Support our Troops, Not Global Jihad!” and “We Stand with the Free.” We will have police cooperation and protection and a couple of people with video cameras to film the reaction of our opponents.
Please email me back if you are able to attend, so that I can get an estimate of how many we are going to be. In addition feel free to bring your own messages and flags.

The rally and demonstration is scheduled for Saturday, March 17 at Dorchester Square in Montreal.
Update – Not in Montreal? Check the comments for info on demonstrations in other centers.

    Scowen says Canada’s ‘a very successful country that would be even more successful without Quebec’
    Reed Scowen is out with a new edition of his book, Time to Say Goodbye: Building A Better Canada Without Quebec. His message is the same, he’s just not as worked up about it.
    Displaying start of article containing 3396 words – Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Quebec Premier Jean Charest and Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion are all whistling past the graveyard. Quebec will separate one day. Federalist political leaders should stop trying to “buy Quebec’s love,” and stop letting the threat of separation determine the national agenda. Instead, they should prepare the nine provinces and three territories to exist as a stronger and more prosperous Canada without Quebec and be proud of it. So says Reed Scowen, author of the updated and recently-released Time to Say Goodbye: Building A Better Canada Without Quebec. Or, he says, the federalist political leaders should lay down Canada’s terms for Quebec to be a part of Canada so that everyone can get on with living their lives without fearing Quebec separation, already.

  2. Also a similar Moonbat march in Calgary is planned. Let’s protest dangerous insane Moonbattery!
    When: Saturday, March 17, 2007
    Where: US Embassy (7th ave and Macleod Tr.)
    Time: 12:45pm is when anti-Moonbats will be gathering

  3. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HAND OUT COPIES OF THIS AT THE DEMONSTRATIONS? (I AM TOO SICK TO MAKE IT)
    I DID A HANDOUT IN BEIRUT THAT HELPED THEM
    A TO-DO LIST FOR CANADIAN MUSLIMS
    – Advocate democracy to anyone who will listen. Admit it, you want it. Only a fool would turn it down, and that’s why Iraqi’s want democracy, even in the middle of their current crisis. It never hurts to remind people about democracy. Everywhere I go in the West, I meet people who do not really know what democracy is, or what’s so good about it. Here’s a basic kit. Democracy consists of : (1) The people are governed by representatives who are elected by fair and frequent elections, with the President and/or Prime minister also elected, (2) Written laws which can be changed by elected representatives, (3) A final “Basic Law” (Constitution), on which all other laws are based, and it usually has a “Bill of Rights”, describing the essential rights and freedoms of all citizens, (4) Judges who ensure that the laws are applied fairly, and these judges are appointed or elected, and no politician can fire them, (5) A separation of Religion and Politics, so that neither can interfere with each other.
    – It may seem easy to advocate democracy among Muslims, but it’s not. I’m thinking, for example, about the comments sections on the Lebanese website Naharnet.com. There, they seem to think that democracy consists of: (1) democratic elections, and (2) killing anyone they don’t like, whenever they want. To their credit, they do have very heterogeneous opinions, although most are about who should be killed, and why. Alright, I’m exaggerating, but I do find Naharnet.com a useful guide to Middle Eastern thinking.
    – Treat women as the equals of men in all things. I mean it. If you were not ready to do this when you came over, re-think your move. Remember all the good things that democracy offers you, and discriminating against women is not democratic. Completely get rid of nijabs, niqabs, hijabs, and all other jabs. Muslim women should never wear any of that stuff, ever. They must wear what they want, where and when they want, except no jabs of any sort, at least for the next 50 years. Then we’ll see. If they must have a head covering, let it be a cowboy hat. If Canadian Muslims do not stop with the jabs, immediately, the rest of us will begin wearing gorilla costumes, all the time, everywhere. The only marriage and divorce laws and customs that are acceptable are Western laws and customs, no exceptions. Arranged marriages: kaput. Doweries: nope. ‘Betrothing’ her at age 12: you’ve got to be kidding. Honour killings: just plain murder. Regulating, stipulating, or controlling who ‘Jasmine’ will marry: not. ‘Jasmine’ will determine who to marry, not you, and if she decides to marry a be-kilted Scotsman, live with it, many Westerners have, and survived. Muslim women will attend college, police academy, or hockey school if they feel like it, and don’t try to stop them (“Ladies and gentlemen, our most valuable player of the evening, Fatima al Douri!”). None of this crap about aborting female fetuses, either.
    – Stop calling the people you don’t like “unbelievers”. You know very well that this is a veiled death threat.
    – Stop it with the Sharia law already. You’ve got to decide which country you’re going to live in, and stick with that decision. After you’ve decided, live by the laws of your chosen country.
    – Stop hating Jews. I know, it’s hard for you, but you have to just give it up. In the first place, hating any ethnic group violates the Bill of Rights of almost every democratic nation, and don’t make a habit of violating your host country’s Bill of Rights. Word gets around, and it makes you unpopular. In the second place, hating Jews is an enormous waste of time and energy, and as a new immigrant you can’t afford to waste time and energy.
    – Stop acting like you have a better religion, and that includes thinking about a ‘World Caliphate’. Only Allah knows what he is up to, and don’t pretend that you know. In Canada, if we were going to switch, it would be to Zoroastrianism (fire worship). It really makes a lot of sense for us.
    – Stop it with the ‘victim’ stuff, it’s really irritating. You have more economic, social and religious freedoms than anywhere else on Earth, and you can’t move to Mars yet. Stop running around with the ankle-length Kameez and the wool Yamalkah-thing, crying discrimination. Tuck your shirt in, and get a better toque. Remember, in Canada, we are glad to have you. We like variety, because it makes us strong. Also, with so many different ethnic groups, ethnic hatred becomes impractical, because hating just one group seems unfair somehow, and it’s too time consuming to hate them all. Besides, if you did hate them all, you wouldn’t have any friends. Also, Muslims are good for Canada, because most are ambitious, hard workers, friendly, and know how to live in harsh environments. It’s normal, in a way – a little cold, perhaps, but normal. It’s kind of nice to think of a small town in Ontario, with a church at one end, and a mosque at the other, I like it. Maybe some day they will be side-by-side.

  4. There will be a combo Anti-War and Weather Control rally in London, Ontario at 1 PM on March 17 in Victoria Park. We’ll be covering it. Come on up and say hi.

  5. Behind all this madness was this: immigration out of control by bleeding heart do gooders…

  7. Anything near Saskatoon? I haven’t heckled a moonbat parade since I left Toronto.

    It’s Alberta I’d like to lose. Well, not Alberta, just wannabe American Albertans. Let’s use that surplus to relocate every one of them to their true spiritual home.
    But if they’re too attached to the oil to leave, we should just kick Alberta out of confederation.

  9. Your ‘To Do List for Muslims’:
    ‘Democracy’ sounds really neato- any chances of some of that for us white anglo-saxons,(who don’t speak french)?

  12. Prince Albert, SK
    In Prince Albert we will be having a day of song for peace and hope. It will take place from 1:00 pm-5:00 pm at the PA Arts Centre on Central Ave.
    For more information contact Rick at 922-3851.

  13. Isn’t this discrimination against the Irish — I mean pre-empting St. Patricks Day like that? Talk about insensitivity and a lack of respect — enough to drive a person out to the pubs to find solace.

  14. “In Prince Albert we will be having a day of song for peace and hope”.Paul
    Paul,
    You’re delusional. You can’t impose peace upon evil people through the use of song and kind thoughts.
    There’s been no peace in Iraq for over 40 years. The only way peace will be brought to Iraq is by the U.S. and ISF forces killing enough terrorists that the rest give up.
    If you truly want peace you will support the selfless American soldiers in their quest to bring peace to Iraq and you will support the duly elected Iraqi government.
    If you do not support the forces who are bringing peace you do not want peace.
    You want to indulge your naive pacifist moronism.
    But don’t be discouraged. You are playing a role in this conflict. By agitating for peace (in fact premature withdrawal) you are supporting and encouraging the terrorists and you therefore have blood on your pacifist hands.

  15. Terry: I’ve posted these dates for people who want to counter-protest; don’t get me wrong, I’d ship them all to Russia or North Korea or Iran if I could … then they could suck on Peace for a while.

  16. Thanks to Paul for the heads up about the Saskatoon (non)event, although Linda L has a hell of a lot better an idea about how to spend the day.
    BTW, look at the co-sponsors: the local UN fan club and some die hard anti free traders who are still hanging around nearly twenty years after the fact. Jeez….

  17. Geoff: If you check out the whole list of events at the url I gave, you’ll be amazed at how lame most of these events are … like you say, holdouts from a galaxy far far away in a time long long ago.
    The ones I’m worried about, as we’ve said, are the new commies … but I think that they’ve found the perfect poison in global warming, so they may be abandoning Peace Rallies in favor of enviro-fascism.

  18. I thought that DemocracyRule’s piece was exceptional. Clarity, humour, forthrightness and accuracy. What more could one ask for.
    I hope you don’t mind my having passed it on to all my friends?

  19. Paul: yeah, I hope that “day of song for peace and hope” in Prince Albert generates all the excitement it implies. I take it the PA Arts Center is a room in a rest home?

  20. Q: What’s more fun than crashing a peace protest?
    A: Watching them squirm because they know we’re coming and they don’t like it:
    “It is quite sick to think that the pro-war, pro-cruelty, anti-environment morons could support the deaths of so many children in Iraq and Afghanistan with such arrogance. In fact, disrupting a protest gathering is a way of denying freedom of speech to those in attendance. What hypocrites these war mongers are! If they want to exercise their own freedom of speech, then fine -they can have their own rally. Problem is, they know there isn’t enough of them to have such an event. They do not represent the other 98% of the population. Some of us are working with the police to find out what charges can be leveled against these yahoos if they disrupt another protest. If there is a megaphone involved, then we have grounds to have them removed.”
    I guess they didn’t like when I used the megaphone at last weekends enviro-nazi rally…
    Darcey’s got details at “Dust My Broom”

  21. Hilarious. Unfortunately Rich, the left sees ‘equal opportunity for free speech’ as ‘a threat to leftist free speech’. Because, you know, if we’re allowed to speak then people might realize how crazy these people are.
    Yes, we are hypocrites for counter-protesting. Because Lord knows, the left has *never* disrupted meetings/conferences/etc with their own protests.

  22. I’d be attending the rally in St. John’s as a counter protester, but I have a job and I’ll be working that night.
    Sodding hippies.

  23. I just checked the weather report. Montreal is expecting a major snowstorm (up to 40 cm) tonight and tomorrow.
    Bet the protest will be cancelled.

  24. Update on the London, Ontario protest —
    “People should please note that the start time of the rally has been moved up from 1:00 to 12:30 in order to accomodate people going to the Cuba film at 2:00!”
    The London Fog will be there, along with our good friends Fenris Badwulf and the Mayor of Mitchieville.

  25. I was in the vicinity of Corbett Hall on the U of Alberta campus at about 1 pm today, half an hour after the leftist demo was scheduled to start. I took some photos from far enough away that they encompassed the entire crowd. My initial count showed fewer than 100 people in attendance. I didn’t stick around for the parade, but I doubt if their numbers had increased by then. I noticed several red flags waving above the gathering, but wasn’t close enough to note whether they had yellow hammer and sickles on them.

  27. Hi.
    I was in Montreal for the protest today. Unfortunately I didn’t seem to see your little “counter-protest”… did you guys chicken out? That’s too bad. I would’ve loved to see you guys gawk as we burned the Canadian flag.
    Maybe next time, eh? Perhaps you can ask the police to hide you in their cars, if you’re too scared.
    Making Conservatives Cry

  28. I’d tell you to make me, but I know how spineless you types are. I’d rather stay and continue making you people cry. 🙂
