Spirit Train Encounters Protests

If there's one thing we learned from the Beijing 2008 Olympics its that the Olympic Movement can attract protests. Canada will be no exception to this rule, although should see less emotional fervor than China did.

The Countdown Clock outside the Vancouver Art Gallery has seen at least 3 unscheduled 'paintings' and of course there have been other signs of protest as well.

On Sunday, the inaugural day for the CP Spirit Train protesters were out from the First Nations. Apparently members of the FN plan to protest at each stop of the train across the country.
