Well, despite the best efforts of e.g. the Globe and Mail and the CBC to flog the issue :deadhorse: this is the horde* of demonstrators that showed up yesterday:
Folks: I live in downtown Ottawa. I walk by the Hill several times a week. This is about as many people as show up on any pleasant summer afternoon - long after the Ceremonial Guard has gone - just to wander around aimlessly. More people would show up to watch the annual parliamentary window washing.
Non event.
But that will not stop the media from moaning and groaning: they hate it when parliament is in recess - no ten second sound bites and no chance for Dosanjh and McCallum to call Canadian soldiers war criminals.
