CTV news has been doing a live broadcast at 11:30pm every night on Robson and Burrard. Surrounded by crowds I have been quite entertained in the last few days about the attampt at a political presence/awareness in the background. There are two people holding up a large banner "Investigate 9/11". And they seem to be getting better at centring it one the screenshot for home viewers. Also interesting is that yesterday a couple people started brigning and equally large Canadian Flag banner, holding it right in front of the "Investigate 9/11" Banner and strategically panning it left and right to block the "Investigate 9/11" banner. Quite entertaining. So a quick google search will show this guys response to the banner. I'm incredibly impressed that the banner inspired this through:
(it's "NUclear"- not nuCUlar")
My favourite part is 2:30-the end of the video. Another inane rant. I'm generally tired of good intentioned progressive people that put out public angry rants that make the general political left look silly. This is the exact portrayal that right-wingers enjoy stereotyping.
THIS is also worth watching- [I kind of love conspiracy theory]
