We gave out candy canes
and contact information to many interested shoppers. A MoWest supporter stopped
by with cookies for us. Mrs. Yoo, at the Fruit Bowl, was happy to let us carol
in front of her store with our paper bollards & posters stuck in the
vegetable bins! We had lively dialogue with those who were previously uninformed,
those who reject the barricade and with even with those who support it! We
were told that we made Montreal West feel more Christmassy.In less than three hours of caroling, we got 80 Montreal West signatures on our petition! Some of those signatures were from the southwest sector where the barricade is located.
Lachine Mayor Dauphin came out to support us and joined us in caroling for a good half an hour. He has a great singing voice! Global News did a news story about our Christmas themed protest and it aired at 6 and 11 PM. We also got lots of our own great film footage for video #2 to be released this week.
Thank you to all those
from our community who did such a terrific job and made the afternoon so much
fun!
