Thousands march to pressure Tories on Kyoto... Sounds impressive doesn't it. In typical fashion, the MSM uses word smithing to make it sound better than it is for those who believe in the cause. Lets see...
"thousands" marched in Montreal with smaller crowds gathering across the country
Notice how no real estimate is given on the crowd in Montreal, just "thousands". Thousands could mean anywhere from two thousand to 999 thousand. I wonder which thousand it really was? Perhaps it was under two thousand and the estimator just liked the sound of "thousands". Who knows... They go on to mention that only 300 turned out in Ottawa and a mere 250 in Canada's largest city, Toronto. Using that as a basis and that they don't bother to mention any other cities in the country, I can only assume that there were perhaps 17 demonstrators in Winnipeg, 20 in Regina, 14 in Saskatoon, 25 in Calgary, 23 in Edmonton, and giving B.C. the benefit of doubt, perhaps another 200 in both Vancouver and Victoria. Add them all up and as you can see we just may get into the "thousands" here folks...
Is this the best they can do to save our glorious planet from the evil climate change? Hell, we get more than 17,000 people out to Rexal Place in the middle of a winter snow storm to watch the Oilers lose. I guess Climate change and Kyoto really are not that high on the peoples priority list after all. Thank God!

Heh ... word is gettin around....
That it is... We can't get complacent though. The church of climatology is not dead yet.
Seriously, I doubt that news of Suzuki... I dunno, crossing Canada in a polluting, dinosaur of a bus... would change the take of the MSM on this.
We need some serious help.
I'm trying very hard to educate the masses... too bad the masses don't bother to read my blog...
Suzuki's bus was minor compared to his and Gores air miles...
