bootlegga bootlegga: A similar argument is like me saying well, the Conservatives have 10,000 fans and Nutella has 4,00,000, so obviously Nutella is vastly more legitimate than the Conservative Party. Of course, that's not true either. It isn't???? Based on the Conservative party's behavior since Harper has begun running the show, I'd rather have Nutella! Of course at the moment, looking at the alternatives (Iggy, Jack, and Duceppe), I'd still rather have Nutella!

Zipperfish Zipperfish: EyeBrock EyeBrock: No, Nutella have FOUR MILLION people joining the FB page. You guys have a paltry 210,000 in a country of 30,000,000. That's .007 % of the population.
An outraged .007 %?
I think Nutella got you beat. 0.7% actually. Sorry, I'm a math geek. That's a pretty appreciable number, but then joining a FB group is pretty easy. One click. One test will be tomorrow--how many people show up to the protests. And another test will be the polls. And the ultimate test will be the election. I'm pretty crap at maths...!

Either way, still an extremely small number of "outraged" Canadians.

Nah, .7 % is a groundswell of the masses who feel SOOOOOO strongly about the issue.
Like Zip says, we shall see how many are on demos in the morrow.
I'm sure we can get the usual renta mob anti-globalisation/big banks/carbon emmissions/olympics/Nutella crowd with ski-masks out to show their outrage.

Never met a cause they didn't show up for. As for the thugs in ski masks who merely show up to cause property damage, a quick round up from the riot control cops and a trip to cells would be perfect. The numbers that show up though will be proportional to the weather. If it is nice out, expect a good crowd. Not so nice and all the professionals will prefer to sit at home and watch the protest on the evening news.

Tim Hortons is crap, Starbucks is crap. Between them they must sell a bazillion cups a day. I don't drink coffee myself but friends claim THs has crack added to make it so good.

Actually no I don't like any store bought coffee. I prefer to buy my own beans, roast them and then experiment with different blends. It's a lot of work but I figure someday I will find the perfect cup of coffee. when I do I'll open my own coffee shop and charge outrageous prices because the saps that drink Starbucks will follow any new trendy spot for thei fix!

I'll stick with beer and Dr. Pepper. Never acquired the taste for coffee. Many a morning people have cursed me out because I don't have any means of making coffee at my place.

Given a second thought, Starbucks does make an acceptable coffee. I just can't stand their bullshit staff who think that coffee has to be flavored with all kinds of shit other than coffee. I think it is a company requirement that to be eligible for employment one must be marginally retarded.
