Honk For Peace...bitch!

Protesting the Lebanese Israel conflict. click here to read about it.

Ok. My first question is who the heck knew there was a Lebanese community in Moncton?

Almost unheard of.

Anyway. So a little over 100 protesters--or peace activists--came out to show their support. I was quite surprised. They had quite a rally. There wasn't much of chanting and what not. But there was singing---bad singing.

One thing that caught my attention was a handful of the protesters standing on the sidewalk screaming "honk for peace!"--and people honked. What was funny though was that they were screaming this phrase out---but no one bothered to actually write it out. So they were screaming at cars with open windows--and people couldn't hear them. Great idea guys.

I was surprised that the media had such a poor showing. A couple of radio stations, and Radio-Canada television. Ofcourse Greg Agnew from the T&T was there--but no one else. It was weird. Even in radio. CBC was there, because they're there for anything and everything, and I saw a News 91.9 mic around...no Magic, or C103.

All in all--good protest, and they made a clear point!
