What causes opponents to come of their own accord is the prospect of gain. What discourages opponents from coming is the prospect of harm.

Vancouver, Canada [Occupied Coast Salish Territory]-- On Wednesday Feb 27/08 a small protest occurred against the visit of the president of the International Olympic Committee, Dr. Jacques Rogge. The IOC president was in town to check up on VANOC's progress and to promote the Olympics.
Note: Government and media propaganda against anti-Olympics resistance, which portrays our movement as far more advanced and organized than it really is. Despite this, it is true that anti-2010 resistance is off and running!
