. . . I don't think protests are very effective at all at affecting change in government policy. I never advocated for more protests, simply wondered aloud at the lack of them. I do think protests are a relevent reflection of the popular opinion . . . and the lack of protests, contrasted with disasterous foreign policy, is a big sign of apathy for me.

But I'm just a crazy Canadian with crazy ideas about democratic accountability and public responsibility and civic duty . . .
