Watch: Judy Rebick reminds us why protest is powerful and necessary

After the widely condemned police brutality during the G20 Summit in Toronto, crowds gathered for a protest in front of Police Headquarters in Toronto on Monday, June 28, 2010. There, Judy Rebick gave a brief history of protest in Canada and reminded us why it is important.

(Please forgive the poor camera framing at some points -- a CBC security/body guard was not playing very nice.)

Judy killin it.

She's right.

This young generation isn't like mine,they're politically active and ready to hit the fucking streets, thank for posting and thanks to every single one of you that we're in that crowd. (except for the House neahs in blue)

Criminal Intent ?

Today their are women being killed, let me be more specific, the women of tomorrow, being aborted because they are female.

This is the right, abortion, the right to kill the other body within you, b ecause you want to play God...

Oh and by the way, men received the right to vote, a few decades before women, and then only property owners got the right; you must recall most of the world did not vote, we had the Monarchies; God bless the Queen.

As Judy Rebick stated,

The one sided approach appears consistent with her statement.

Why would lesbians be so concerned about 'pro-choice issues'(they can't get pregnant) and 'stop violence against women by men' when in their relationships the victim while always a woman, the abuser is always a woman too ?"

Seems we have 'wolves' in the chicken coop !

As Judy Rebick stated,

JUDY: Yeah, thanks, I’m sorry I didn’t mention it. Yeah, lesbians are the heart of the women’s movement, always have been. And, you know, for a long time in Canada, lesbians weren’t, their issues – they were invisible in the women’s movement, even though they were always essential, particularly in the anti-violence movement and the pro-choice movement."

The one sided approach appears consistent with her statement.

Haters gonna hate,  and protesters gonna win.

[VeryHugeAss]

She is so narrow-minded. She sounds like a broken record. A broken record that needs to go on a diet and stop getting hitting hit in the face with the ugly stick for that matter.

[tothatextent]

What an ugly cunt!

@northsideparker words spoken by someone very ingenious. you write no points to indicate in why i would be a "moron" aside from the fact that you just disagree with me. I write that I and no one else cares for your futile, pity input that has no substantial use in an argument. Once stating that no one cares about your comment you some how feel the need to send another message. one in which has no significant purpose other than to insult me on reasons unstated. :)

@tado05pro You're still a moron and care enough to hear it! You heard it once....now twice...moron! :)
