HALIFAX - Organizers of a protest that turned violent on the streets of Halifax said yesterday they were delighted with the media attention they received.

Police used tear gas Friday to disperse protesters outside a downtown conference on a proposed free trade zone for eastern Canada and the northeastern United States.

Twenty-one people were arrested after some of the protesters smashed windows and threw rocks and light bulbs filled with paint. More than 70 charges were laid.

  • 2:00 come on black bloc, u can fight non-democratic proposals but please dont hurt Bud the Spud! There fries are fkn awesome!

  • Why exactly can you hear the Needham Hill's old bell-chime in the background when that woman was standing outside the WTC.... Lol...

  • got nothing to do with free trade, its only losers who start trouble

  • Look these up, they are genuine proposals, and about as likely as an Atlantica economic integration.

    But alas, no one informed the Black Bloc, and as a result they got their asses kicked by police protesting something no one really gave a fuck about in the first place.

    Shitty way to go.

    Next time folks, protest something relevant like diet coke or something.

    Maybe then you wont looks like a bunch of uneducated fuck tards.

  • Bummer, I guess no one told the Black Bloc that Atlantica is just a fucking IDEA, and NOT a seriously acknowledged economic ideal.

    Which is odd because of the staggering brainpower these protesters possess. Collectively they may have the intellect of a 3rd grader with downs syndrome, which is monumental compared to most "i need something to protest" hippies.

    Other proposed "ideas" are a trans Atlantic tunnel, an elevator to the moon, and off planet landfills. These "ideas" are imminent.

  • GFU

  • umm just a question not critisicm

    hanve you done anything with your life that benefits anybody that actually needs help

    at least these people were trying to help people not themselves

    free trade benefits them but forces others into poverty

    almost an equivelent to slave labor

  • Free trade:

    When a capitalist nation steals resources and calls them imports.

  • what dose that have to do with it?

  • I deal with people like you all the time, why not go to the commons and stab some elderly woman like your good at.
