COAST SALISH TERRITORY - Idle No More continued to build momentum today with more than 600 supporters at a boisterous downtown Vancouver rally against Bill C-45.
The rally featured First Nations leaders from across the continent and a pledge to continue building the movement against the Harper Conservatives. Speakers even thanked Harper "for finally getting us together." Much of the focus was the Conservatives' Bill-C-45, which wipes out land and treaty rights and ends environmental protection for thoudsands of lakes and rivers.
The event was followed by a round dance flash mob at the Park Royal mall in North Vancouver. Two similar round dances were held Friday at the Vancouver Airport and yesterday at Metrotown mall in Burnaby.
