Photos from Toronto anti-coalition rally at Queens Park
Unfortunately the battery on my camera died, so credit goes to various friends on Facebook for these pictures I stole. It seems so far the media isn't covering our rally.
Overall a well attended rally. Several great speakers including new Canadians, veterans, John Tory, Frank Klees, Tim Hudak, Peter Kent, Rick Dykstra, and lots of young people. The crowd was fired up and angry over the proposed oppositon coup. The highlight was some of the creativity on the signs as well as the large amount of people who told me they actually voted Liberal but would never do so again. Overall it was a well attended rally, especially given that we didn't have any union drives to get our people out unlike those at Nathan Phillips Square. I am sure that Liberals will lose seats in Toronto following the next election. After this mistake, there is no longer such a thing as a safe Liberal seat in Canada.
Update: Toronto up until the last election was the last remaining stronghold for the Liberal Party. Still we drew a great crowd that was fired up and ready to fight for democracy. From pictures of the pro-coalition rally in the same picture I have seen in the media, it is clear that even in Toronto the government is winning the day. I think Toronto was successful, but I can't imagine the energy level at the rally in Calgary today. Check out the blog Right from Alberta for pictures of the Calgary event! -Darryl
