Besides the group that is dancing, there is an inner core of people just sitting... occupying, if you will

Here have a read of some anger messaging. Its about Bush coming to some speaking event in Vancouver a couple days ago

Here is the other side of that sign... Lots of local politician names there (I had to google whoever "Dianne Watts" was.. apparently she is the mayor of Surrey.. Also Christy Clark is the premier of BC, if you didn't know! I'm sure you know who Harper and Bush "The War Criminal" is. Also found one typo ("YOU'R FIRED")

I took this picture because I originally thought the dude was the sexmaniac running for mayor. But apparently he is a saxmaniac...
