Shortly after they left, Laura watched as Grace pulled a sucker from her pocket. She quickly unwrapped it and shoved the wrapper back into her pocket while the sucker went in her mouth. Laura raised an eyebrow and leaned forward.

“Where did you get that?” she questioned.

Grace froze and then slowly turned around to look at her. “Helo,” she answered around the sucker.

Laura shook her head and laughed softly. “Oh?”

“I traded for it!” She pulled the sucker out and smiled. “Gave him one of my clips.”

As she said it, she realized that one of her daughter’s butterfly clips was missing. Still shaking her head, she sat back in her chair and smiled.

Montreal: Protest in Support of Political Prisoners of the G20, Toronto 2010

Yesterday, a group of about one hundred people gathered in front of the CBC building in Montreal to protest the mass arrest of 1100 protesters during last year's G20 summit in Toronto. The protest, organized by the Organisation for the Defense of Political Prisoners, aimed its demands at the media and the public to end the repression by the Conservative government, and to allow people their freedom of expression.

Several speeches were given from arrestees and organizers, and then the march was underway. The group took a leisurely stroll up to Ste.

It was altogether peaceful, joyous, and always rather raucous. Many chants for democracy, freedom of speech and against repression could be heard throughout the march, and after a concluding speech from several comrades, the group dispersed without any problems.
