National Day of Action - Oct. 27

October 27 was the National Day in Action in Canada, while protestors in the U.S. marched and rallies as well. Here is a look at one demonstration.

We had a small but passionate crowd in Edmonton on Saturday, October 27. I would guess about one hundred people showed up for the march and rally. We were calling for Canada out of Afghanistan and the U.S. out of Iraq. After marching down Whyte Avenue, we held a rally at the TransAlta Arts Barns and because the weather was so beautiful, we just kept it outside.

Here are the photos at RaiseMyVoice.com and at Flickr (40 images).
