lacklustre

This country sucks at protesting. Yesterday was the International Day of Climate Action to put pressure on governments leading up to the Copenhagen meeting. In the biggest city of the country (Toronto), about 200 people showed up. It was very, very underwhelming.

In my small town of 8000 in France, about 1000 people marched on the streets to protest cuts in service at the local hospital. They know how to get things done over there (hint: It's not voting, or at least not merely voting).
