Subject: Olympic protest AND rally, same place, same time
Written By: Frank on 02/11/10 at 4:30 pm
Just heard on the news:
Tomorrow at 3PM there will be an Olympics protest at the Art Gallery in downtown Vancouver. Oddly enough, at the same place, same time, there will be a Pro-Olympic rally. This, just hours before the Opening ceremonies begin. ???
Whenever you get 2 groups at opposites ends of the spectrum,with strong beliefs either way, ...I don't wanna be there, that's all I know.

The protests will probably be about Aboriginal land rights, and how the Olympics shouldn't be hosted on former Native land.

How do you get 25 Canadians out of a swimming pool?
Say, "Please get out of the swimming pool."

Here is from the website:
These events are set to parallel the opening ceremonies and the arrival of the Olympic torch from its Royal Bank and Coca-Cola sponsored relay. As the Winter Olympics begin, we must show the world our unified message about the negative impacts of the Games on our communities and the environment.

My Canadian friend told me that one a few weeks ago. I thought it was charming!

And it's true.
The protest didn't turn out as bad as first thought. There was some pushing, shoving, 150 cops were there. No arrests as far as I know.

Then that poor kid flew off the luge and smacked a steel pole at 90 mph. His last words were, "Ohhh shiiii....."
