Personally I would be filming everything.
Then I would set up a face book page and publish it.
I am fully on board with the right to protest, and the right to free speech. But some of these more professional protesters are pretty disgusting.
One of the things that I really wanted to see implemented by the Harper government was forcing people to open their books about the money they were receiving from some of these international groups like Tides etc.
Groups like Tides Canada etc should have to show who they're receiving their donations from and if its coming from Tides in the US who its receiving that money from. Then you yank their tax free status.
