Walking home from the AMC Yonge & Dundas movie theatre last night, I saw the last bit of the most recent Tamil protest at Queen's Park. There were perhaps a bit more than a hundred people in total, some holding signs to face the northcoming traffic on University Avenue, others clustered around CP24 news reporter who was standing in front of some young Tamil women, concluding her piece by Omar.

The chanting protesters were just outside the provincial legislature, and no, I don't know if anyone of import was at home. The chants followed a standard call-and-response slogans led by the guys with the megaphones.

"Stop the
genocide"

or

"We want a
permanent ceasefire
When do we want it?
Right now"

(My post about Sunday's protest will be up tomorrow; I just need to find something to replace my camera's UPS cable.)
