Our street theatre calling Canadian mining to account went really well!
We performed for 90 minutes and got 30-40 cards sign (We didn't have enough otherwise we could have gotten more!). It snowed but we continued to act. People got really into it! I think they saw it as part of the tourist experience too. A lawyer came up to us and discussed the mining issue with us and gave us some ideas. He talked about how if a Canadian ambassador is helping with the atrocities (like in Guatemala) then we can use the courts to settle the matter. He said it would be a real embarrassment for the government.
Another bonus was that the big anti-war protest was on the same day. Those protesters were
coming just as we were leaving, and they took a bunch of our information and distributed it amongst themselves.
Also we raised more than $2000 at our THINKfast held at St. Paul's University too.
