I had no idea that they were protesting for us in Canada as well. Gives me goosebumps. Thank you neighbors to the North!!

We have professional protesters - they would protest the sun rising in the east - thus they don't gather much notice in these parts

Thanks, Canada

Apparently there was a protest in Adelaide Australia, they didn't advertise it well one of my friends accidentally ran into them while trying to get to her car. If they'd actually told someone I would have gone!

What the hell is that poster above the building? The left looks… Lovecraftian.

@7-It was at the Art Gallery (as all protest in Van are), so it's probably an ad for an exhibit...looks like an Aboriginal Art Exhibit.

@5-You're welcome :)

@7 It's Kwakiutl, a Wakashan language indigenous to Vancouver Island spoken by the Kwakwaka'wakw people. It is indeed an impressive ad for an art exhibit.
