Protesters hurl shoes in solidarity with jailed Iraqi journalist
The Canadian Press


MONTREAL — Anti-war protesters held symbolic shoe tosses Saturday in Montreal and Toronto in support of jailed Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi.

About 40 protesters in both cities braved the cold to let fly in front of their respective U.S consulates and celebrate al-Zeidi's actions.

Demonstrators in Montreal pelted a black-and-white presidential photograph with boots, shoes and slippers and denounced the U.S. war in Iraq and the NATO-led war in Afghanistan, before marching to a downtown Canadian Forces recruiting station.

"Today is an act of humour in a sense but it's also a profound situation and context," activist and journalist Stephan Christoff told the Montreal crowd. More at link above.


GO CANUCKS!

1. BREAKING: DHS rules Canadians may only bring the shoes on their feet into US.
You know it'll get there.

6. I'm going to start saving my old beat up shoes instead of throwing them
out. They could come in handy some day. :)
