What has been planned for a rally in Montreal? I am a member of the Raging Grannies of Montreal and we want to take part.

We heard that there will be a rally on Jan 23, but have no details. Please send those to me.
Thanks

Je serai à Montréal ce samedi-là.
Où aura lieu le rassemblement?
SVP me répondre.

Merci.

We’re still hammering those details; will update as details are available.
4 ck said at 10:10 pm on January 13th, 2010:
Micheline, On essaie d’avoir les confirmations des permis. Donc, je communique les details lorsqu’ils seront disponibles.
5 kh said at 4:45 pm on January 16th, 2010:
Just a heads-up that Émilie-Gamelin is misspelled in the English version, and Phillips is misspelled with 1 L instead of 2 in both versions. Would be a good idea to fix that, so people are able to easily search for the locations in google maps etc. Thanks!
6 Louis Préfontaine said at 2:46 pm on January 17th, 2010:
Il serait intéressant que cet événement soit francophone. Montréal est une ville francophone et de bilinguiser cet événement constitue une insulte aux Québécois.
7 Denise Lanouette said at 4:20 pm on January 17th, 2010:
Tous les ralliements se tiennent à 13:00 au pays.
Est-ce bien 11:00, ou y a-t-il erreur?
8 Leanne Bourassa said at 6:41 pm on January 17th, 2010:
Il n’y pas d’erreur – l’événement à Montréal aura lieu à 11h pour assurer qu’il n’y a pas de conflit avec un autre ralliement au centreville.
9 Rachel said at 4:46 pm on January 18th, 2010:
@ Leanne Bourassa: Est-ce qu’il y aura 2 manifestations séparées? vous parlez d’un conflit avec un autre ralliement au centre-ville…

13 Jane b said at 3:07 pm on January 21st, 2010:
Hey – someone please fix the Facebook info – it says the rally in Mtl starts at 1pm.

Creative people: please make some posters in French that are less ‘Non’ focused – that word is just a little loaded in this province!

eg:
Oui – au Travail, députés Canadiens!!

….or something similar….
14 Dawn said at 5:05 pm on January 22nd, 2010:
i worked with a deviantArt member to get their poster translated to French; i’m posting it on the facebook groups now as another French option.

To bump any image to the “most popular” page for the world to see, pass your mouse over the image and give it a thumbs UP. You may also sign in as a “guest” and leave a comment on any of the images.

I would appreciate help with identifying some of the VIPs in the rally. Some of them don’t need identification because they are so well know already. Enjoy!
