Ok, I'm surprised but pleased


Today's coalition rally at Toronto City Hall took place on a dark cold Saturday. There was no reason to go except to support the coalition -- no free food and precious little glory.

But the square was packed. Thousands of people came to protest and rally behind the 62% Majority.

I didn't expect that type of turnout.

And the crowd was energized and positive. No one was down in the mouth and labour activists stood shoulder to shoulder with Bay Street lawyers and chanted support for the coalition.

I am impressed.

great turnout indeed, especially given the yucky weather and the time of year. People feel very strongly (one way or the other) about this issue. I haven't come across anyone who's apathetic about it.
