49. Toronto: US conscientious objector seeking asylum spoke.
Edited on Sat Mar-20-04 05:50 PM by Minstrel Boy
He said he was glad for his time in the military, because otherwise he might never have learned his government's true intentions. At least one other US soldier seeking asylum was present.

The most passionate speaker was a Muslim community leader who raised the lies of 9/11, saying we need to expose the truth about that day as much as we have already about Iraq.

NDP content: good representation from downtown candidates, though Jack Layton was on the Vancouver march. Olivia Chow spoke, and Davenport candidate Rui Pires read a message from Jack. What an orator he is. Sure would love to have him in the House of Commons.

The protest began with "one minute of noise", not silence, to demonstrate that we won't keep quiet about this goddamned war. It felt good to howl again.
