After the protest, what’s next for concerned citizens?
I enjoyed reading the coverage of the No Prorogue rallys around the country. Opposition parties are acting on the public outrage and attempting to draft some legislation to slow down our proroguing Prime Minister (and future PMs). The question now is, how does the public continue to show support for this initiative? How do we let the politicians know that the public is still concerned.
News changes, different things come up (Olympics, etc.), and the public’s interest in this issue may wane. It’s good to have a follow up strategy–the question is, what do we think that strategy should be?
I think we should start with a legal defense fund for Richard Colvin to make sure that the Cons can’t escape accountability.
From there, I think we should consider starting a progressive movement in Canada, much like the ‘tea baggers’ in the US.
