An image from today's peaceful rally by the Canadian Combat Coalition across the street from the Public Archives building on Wellington Street.
The rally was held within a fenced enclosure, to separate this group from those opposed to their views under the heavy presence and watchful eyes of the Ottawa Police Service.
A variety of members from various groups were present.
"Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding the resignation of the prime minister, Najib Razak, over his alleged involvement in a multibillion-dollar misappropriation scandal.
Clad in yellow shirts and unfazed by arrests of activists and opposition leaders just hours before the rally, protesters marched from various spots towards the heart of Kuala Lumpur amid tight security."

1,000+ people protested against the Government's controversial proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill at Devonshire Green in Sheffield.
The proposed Bill includes proposals that would give police and the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests on grounds of “serious annoyance or inconvenience” which if you’re a government minister could mean all of them.
It’s a serious erosion of civil liberties and democratic rights.

**About 50 of us braved the snow and wind to protest for an hour in front of the Chinese Consulate General today at 1pm.
Chinese artist , Ai Weiwei, has been missing for more than 1 month without any official charges from the Chinese government. An international silent protest called "1001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei" was planned in hope of putting pressure on governments around the world to ask the People's Republic of China to release Ai Weiwei immediately.
On 4 July 2017, English PEN launched Imagine Your Shadow, an anthology of poetry written by participants in our Brave New Voices project.
Five groups across London, at British Red Cross, Praxis Community Projects, Migrants Organise, Capital City Academy and Newman Catholic College, were each paired with writers with an established reputation in facilitating creative expression: Raymond Antrobus, Kat Lewis, Femi Martin, Simon Mole and Shazea Quraishi.

Don’t read me dear hate filled lady
Mind your own business
Unwashed dishes your life’s kitchen in a mess
Yes this poem is to you and only you I address
My poems from a butchers shop body parts no less
Dick sized dilemma vaginal varicosity menstrual machinations
The heart and hole of my poems need I digress
You need not read me or with your infatuated eyes caress
That you want me to be censored you stupid American woman
Dumb head don’t you know abut the most fornicated word
Freedom of the press that is touted at each street corner even in the US
Or Freedom of Expression a fundamental right Lady Highness
Witches of Armageddon you and you kind can’t suppress
You military mad cap dictators of poetry in civilian
Seminal stained dress
On Thanksgiving Day burnt food served to the guests
Of the Poetry forum that with you culinary finesse
You try to impress as though you are participant in a kitchen contest
Take my advice write and read your own poetry
Not your recipes that you ostentatiously garnish with Louisiana garden cress
Lady just your poetry a road to rightful success
