We need brave women REFUSING to be silenced. TRUTH IS NOT HATE! IGNORANCE IS NOT STRENGTH!
We are that woman.

Good luck to all the protesters. If you get arrested, crowd fund for your legal expenses.
They cant jail all of us.

Upstart, I was hoping for a bit of positivist affirmation.

Could someone post the tweet please?

Sending support- the tweet asking for the ‘name (and shame)’ of the female protester is chilling.

There's a counter protest SOGI dance in or some such at the same time. I hope everyone manages to stay Canadian. 🇨🇦

I really hope the protest goes well for them in Canada. What they have is so close to being our future. It really is terrifying.

It will be interesting how the authorities deal with it. People have had the police on their doorstep for saying what is on that banner. What will they do when hundreds if not thousands loudly say the same.
I assume Jordan Peterson will be attending.
Do the have Hate Crime legislation in Canada?

No to imposed nonsense rules curtailing free expression which stop people speaking the truth and prevent women from defining themselves as a class. Good luck to all protesting.

I’m not generally one to wish bad things on people but, that Morgane Ogre, there is a special place in hell for that utter misogynist. He demands to be called a ‘Mother of two’ in the press.

With you in spirit!
