So we took off once again from downtown Toronto to the town of Brantford, Ontario. Here, we set up in front of the Brantford General Hospital to protest. It's funny--it seems that every day, we are becoming more and more creative with the cheers. Today, someone came up with "Stopcuts dot C A...call your MPP today!" and "Seven hundred million short...that's why we need your support!!" (we realized that the latter one wasn't too appropriate so we scrapped it!) It was rainy and quite cold, so not alot of pedestrians passed by but we attracted quite a bit of attention from the cars and trucks going by. Also, we had some media coverage from the Brantford Expositor and another local paper.
After a couple of hours we headed to another area of Brantford to canvas. Heather and I were hoping we catch a glimpse of Walter Gretzky, but no luck! In fact, we little luck today. We only talked to about 3 people out of about 40 houses! Either alot of people were at work or just weren't coming to the door. In fact, the whole street was pretty deserted. I think our street was an exception though, since the majority of peers met with and talked to many people who showed interest.
Check out the media coverage from Stratford yesterday:
