protest in winnipeg mar 21

The city of Winnipeg is holding 3 back to back protests. Thursday (Mar 20), Friday (Mar 21), and Saturday (Mar 22). I just returned from the friday protest, This was the student walk out against the war. CBC news and several other bourgeois media outlets were eager to interview the youngest looking kids they could find. Although the local colleges were pamphleted on the protest most of the attendees were highschool students. Some kids as young as elementary school attended (with their parents). The Highschool protest was weakly organized, yet still went well. A young man from the World People's Resistance Movement (http://www.wprm.org) spoke to a crowd of a thousand with megaphones. They marched several times around the city legislative building before the police arrived to block the doors and escort those who had taken the protest indoors out. Almost all the voices participated in standard chants of "no blood for oil." The protest then moved to the neighboring park. The students had planned on taking an un-sanctioned march through the streets of downtown Winnipeg, but the police (ten in number) kept the crowds out of the street by simple commands. No police force was used by or against the police. Everything went peacefuly. Copies of L'humanite and The communist manifesto (as well as flyers) were sold and distributed until supplies were exhausted. The protests lasted roughly three hours.
