| A good turn out of “severely normal” Canadians showed up at Saskatoon City Hall at noon, and a good time (if somewhat chilly) was had by all. For a round up of reports from across Canada, your best starting place is Blogging Tories. Update – Star Phoenix coverage (Via Financial Post). Yours truly is quoted. |

Part way through the rally, I walked over to the small, noisy, (and predominantly francophone) pro-coalition group and asked them to close up so I could get everyone in the shot.
The photo taken, I told them that I simply wanted to record the faces of those who had chosen to disrupt the moment of silence that had just been observed for the fallen soldiers in Afghanistan.
And that, in a few hours, several thousand people would know them, too.

Update – several of you have sent photos via email. I can’t possibly use them all, but here are a few… including my favourite from Ward, from Vancouver!

Click for Winnipeg rally pics. Maurice writes “A few days ago, Winnipeg’s leftwing elite held their pro-coalition rally in a warm hotel banquet room.”
Also – Youtube of the Queen’s Park rally in Toronto.
Pelalusa has a bunch of photos and video, too. (sorry, link fixed!)
Feel free to drop links to your own albums in the comments.
Is that Kim Justin-Il on the far right of the “disrupters” photo?
… nah, I was mistaken …
Just to note, I believe the one in the center of the pro-coalition group in the green jacket is one Jae Ford, president I believe of the Saskatchewan Young New Democrats?

No problem, Kevin.
It isn’t meant to be any of those things. Its meant to be coarse, unpleasant and confrontational. I’d spit in his eye, but this is the internet and spit doesn’t travel by packet switching.
Hope that’s cleared it up for you.
