Please head down to the corner of Peel and Rene-Levesque on Saturday March 17th at 12:30PM. This is the "official protest location" for March 17th, which marks the beginning of the invasion of Iraq. Since Canada is in Afghanistan and not Iraq, the protest will revolve around both topics.

The 17th of March is the day the US invasion of Iraq began... if you're insinuating that the invasion was some sort of Irish conspiracy... :D

EDIT: also, there will be a second gathering point at the corner of Guy and deMaisonneuve. The two gatherings are being organized by different people, but I've heard that the two will be merging at some point.
