Protesters drawn to Ottawa

PEACENIKS, POT puffers, raging grannies and gays are all planning to give a cold Canadian welcome to President George W. Bush. Protesters wearing black armbands and lighting up big joints will converge on Parliament Hill to dump on the recently re-elected U.S. leader.

Satellite demonstrations are also organized coast to coast.

"There will be solidarity actions from Vancouver to Halifax," said James Clarke of the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War. "It won't be something that's just concentrated in Ottawa and Quebec, but also in places like Flin Flon, Man., and Prince Albert, Sask."

Protesters will vent anger and frustration by rolling out "unwelcome mats" with anti-Bush slogans. The heat will also be on Prime Minister Paul Martin to reject requests to join missile defence and to help out in Iraq.

B.C. marijuana activist Marc Emery will show his disdain for Bush by lighting up a foot-long joint below the Peace Tower. The huge doobie's big enough to share with about 100 protesters, he said.

"It's to clarify that we want an independent drug policy," he said. "We feel the biggest push is coming from the U.S government to maintain criminal sanctions."

Ontario: the 51st state!
"Surrender pronto, or we'll level Toronto"--tagline from an old Michael Moore movie (never saw, but looked up on imdb.com):

(here are some comments from an IMDB reviewer):
"Make no mistake of it, this could have been a very good movie due to the original idea. The movie failed miserably in dealing out anything worthwhile. Throughout, it seemed offensive to anyone Canadian. This movie was not funny and not entertaining. The writing seemed to be done in a style that was supposed to get quick laugh after quick laugh, but my laugh count at the end was the same as when I started watching. The characters of Boomer and Honey were supposed to be likeable but were extremely obnoxious. Michael Moore's writing and direction lacked luster throughout.
"Canadian Bacon" is total garbage. I give it one star out of ten.(end IMDB review)
