So the Conservatives want to hold mass rallies against a possible left-wing coalition on December 6, which also happens to be the day that Parliament years ago designated as the National Action Day on Violence Against Women -- in honour of the fourteen female engineering students slaughtered in Montréal in 1989.
A day not only to commemerate what happened and continues to happen, the insidious war against women, but also to speak out against the millions of men and women -- but mostly men -- who sit idly by and do nothing just as the men in that classroom did nothing, nineteen years ago.
Set aside the timing, which is horribly wrong. This speaks strongly to the anti-women agenda of the Conservative Party, one of the reasons I turned away from the Reform Party years ago. And it's just another reason why the government needs to go down -- or the Prime Minister ought to resign before he is forced to.

Agree. They are low-lifes who care nothing about anyone other than themselves.
I agree. And this event speaks to the anti-women agenda of the progressive coalition. These lowlifes don't care about anyone but themselves. (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=46997744273&ref=nf)
Um, did you mean anti-progressives, BEG?
It strikes me that, perhaps, you didn't follow the link I posted...
No comment on the Rally for a Progressive Coalition on December 6th? Do they hate women too?
I concede the timing is ill-advised; but most of the support rallies are taking place two days earlier on December 4th. But the Cons decided to schedule the bulk of theirs on the 6th which is what the problem was.
As for my being non-responsive for most of the day, I had some urgent matters to attend to today -- it was not out of any lack of disrespect.
