Today's Rally for America in Calgary, Alberta had about one thousand people in attendance. Despite holding it on a university campus in the student union's hall there were just a handful of anti-Operation Iraqi Freedom protesters. We heard from three Canadian Alliance MPs (Canada's official Opposition party) including Myron Thompson, whose son is serving in the US Army in Iraq right now. Other speakers included an immigrant professor from a Muslim country who supports the liberation of Iraqis from Saddam Hussein. Lots of US, UK, and Aussie flags were waved and we gave standing ovations to veterans in the audience and a local woman with a relative currently serving in Kuwait.
