The 'leader of the free world', George W. Bush, will be making his first official visit to Canada this week, and concerned people from all walks of life will try to make this a trip the warlord emperor won't soon forget. From Ottawa to Halifax, his passage through Canada will be marked by many actions and protests aiming to denounce the policies and ideology of the current US administration.
Independent media of all kinds will focus on the action this week, and the CMAQ is no exception. Check this space regularly for updates on the mobilisation and the latest news from the many community reporters, photographers, and videographers who will strive to provide a much-needed independent perspective on the events.
At least two independent media collectives are organizing for the event:
Ottawa: ottawa.indymedia.org, which will be hosting an independent media space in the federal capital;
Maritimes : maritimes.indymedia.org, which will cover Bush's second day in Canada, a carefully-staged public event in Halifax.
We also encourage you to cross-post your stories to the CMAQ for the widest possible distribution -- we will highlight your submissions here as events develop.
