Casserole Night, Wednesday July 4th

UPDATES

 The group marched up Water Street to show solidarity, first of all, with the student (and now popular) movement in Quebec, and as a way to show popular discontent with a slew of undemocratic laws at the provincial and federal levels: Loi 78 in Quebec makes it illegal for groups of more than 50 to peacefully assemble, Omnibus bill C-38 (recently passed by the Conservatives) represents the most dangerous disregard for people and the environment we've seen in a long time, and Newfoundland access to information Law 29 (read more about it here, here, or here) hinders the public from accessing information.

 There are so many reasons to be angry, and so we invite the public to gather peacefully with us next Wednesday at Harbourside Park at 8 pm for more discussion, marching, and pots and pans clanging!

JOIN US  FOR A HUGE CASSEROLES (Pots and Pans)

NIGHT ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 4TH, AT 8:00 P.M., IN SOLIDARITY WITH QUÉBEC STUDENTS AND CANADIANS THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY WHO HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

Show disapproval for Québec's Law 78, which restricts Canadians' civil liberties. Let those in power know that Canadians are paying attention!   We will stand in solidarity with the students of Québec, but this is about much more. This is a stand against Harper:  cuts to DFO and the fisheries, the "in and out" scandal, lying about voter suppression, the F-35 debacle, muzzling scientists, opposition to environmental groups, union breaking, the tar sands, cuts to refugee healthcare, Bill C-10 (the Omnibus crime bill. (http://ccla.org/omnibus-crime-bill-c-10/) currently being criticized by the Supreme Court of Canada), C38, social injustice, neoliberalism, ... and Dunderdale's Law 29.
