Thousands gather for No Prorogue rallies. Canada : Coast to coast to coast rally January 23, 2010. Jan. 25, 2010 News article by rabble.ca Just over two weeks ago, quiet Internet chatter began amongst members of the newly formed and fast growing Facebook group Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament (CAPP), with individuals in cities across the country and the world coming together over a single, coordinated idea: to take to the streets on Saturday Jan. 23 and collectively express their concern over Prime Minister Stephen Harpers prorogation of Parliament. As a result of the prorogation, parliamentarians will not return to Ottawa until early March, 37 bills are scrapped and committee work is halted. Through CAPP,(facebook group) (Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament ) event organizers who had previously never met teamed up, putting their respective skills to work and organizing round the clock. Facebook chats and messages turned into real-life meetings, and late-night coffee shop brainstorms turned into a massive, grassroots national campaign. Two days before Parliament was originally set to return to work before Harpers prorogue, thousands of Canadians marched in over 50 rallies, sending a strong message to Harper that Canadians care. rabble.ca/news/2010/01/thousands-gather-no-prorogue%E2%80%99-rallies Toronto G20/G8 Summit June 26, 27, 28, 2010 .
