Overwhelmed by Activism

I’ll be honest in that I knew that Ottawa would be a centre for activism, but I also have to be honest in that it is way more intense than expected. It seems that every place I look, there is another poster fighting the signing of a bill, globalization, and a myriad of other causes that I had never before thought of. Although the bombardment is tremendous, it is also inspiring to see the number of people and organizations ensuring that our democracy is kept honest.

In contrast to my ultra-right wing hometown, the abundance of left in Ottawa is refreshing!
