Confounding Protest
On Tuesday April 7,2009, Ottawa found itself with a grid lock in the downtown core. Key streets and intersections were blocked by protestors carrying signs and flags we did not understand. The protests continue, now with only Wellington Street which runs in front of Parliament Hill blocked off. Curiosity had the best of me yesterday, so I altered my walk to the office to snap a few pictures.
At the link is a very comprehensive article by The MacKenzie Institute, a well respected think tank, that helped enlighten me. It's quite fascinating.
