Canadian Spring is getting started.....

MONTREAL - A crowd of 250,000 people or more inched its way through downtown and onto Mount Royal Sunday afternoon in what was Quebec’s largest-ever Earth Day march.

This time it wasn’t students wearing red squares, waving red flags and clashing with police. Capping a week of raucous student demonstrations, Sunday’s event was a peaceful, family-oriented rally that drew activists from around the province, who had come with a variety of complaints about the federal and provincial governments’ handling of environmental issues. They waved Quebec flags, carried banners that read “La terre n’est pas à vendre” and “Harper = dictateur”and blasted Quebec Premier Jean Charest for his Plan Nord project for oil and gas exploration in the north. There were plenty of Montreal families in the crowd, too: parents with little children in strollers who stopped in busy Place des festivals to eat picnic lunches, and senior citizens who came by the busload. Many said they had never before attended an Earth Day event.
