Saw a clip with Svend Robinson (Canada's only openly Gay Member of Parliament) looking a bit shaky after taking a rubber bullet in the leg. Being the long time activist he is, I doubt that much shocks him, but he seemed genuinely surprised that the RCMP had resorted to that.

Huge surprise to see Sinclair Stephens (former Conservative big-shot) marching, and being so supportive of the protesters. There's no question that a great many "mainstream" folks are pretty ticked off, and making their voices heard.

Something else that warmed my heart was that THE ENTIRE NDP CAUCUS was out marching. This might help in restoring some of the broken trust between them and Canadian Labour.

One interesting little result of the constant TV coverage (on CBC news) this week is that ol' Fidel is probably gonna rake in quite a few Canadian Tourist dollars, that might have gone to Mexico or the Carribean in the upcoming months.
