Fascinating Peter. I know that you probably feel that this has all been talked about to death, and perhaps you spent many years discussing same with folks more attuned than any here, BUT...I really would like to know what you think as this progresses(??), with as much background as you have time or inclination to provide.

I did a fair amount of lugging the banjo through Toronto's streets many years ago, and of course knew all the right songs....but the musician is probably the most elite of protestors. I was never whacked by a cop, and when it was wet or cold, I was offered (along with the 'semi-celebrity' academics, and politicos) food, drink and shelter from the elements. The rest froze.

I know that you have put far more things on the line than I ever have, and sometimes when you do a quick 'one line post' on this kind of thing, I'd really like to hear a bit more.

Cheers

Rick
