I"m not going but I know many who are. What kinds of logos, banners or signs are recommended?

Just don't think I have the time to do a VLC banner or sign but maybe, really busy life lately but I will be there. I have to be careful, I work for one of Atlantica's sponsors, (not Irving). Also known well enough that incognito is a difficult option.<br /> Michelle

The FRS really goes nuts when it identifies a head that has too many eyes.<br />

The Irvings are supporters?? That doesn't surprise me. They pay almost no tax in Canada by being the best (or worst) at offshoeing money to avoid taxes in Bermuda IIRC.

Recommended is just a regular protest sign (people often get together to make these prior to the protest, or you can bring your own on a large piece of paper), saying Vive le Canada or Vive le Canada.ca (or including Vive le Canada.ca on it somewhere). You could write "Vive le Canada against Atlantica". The slogan "Vive le Canada! This country is not for sale!" is also ideal.

At first I thought you were kidding Dr. Caleb but what you are saying makes sense and is simple to do, I think I have some of those eyes. <br /> <br /> I thought I saw Irving as a sponsor, Perturbed, on the stopatlantica site, which I can't get to today, but at the atlantica site, http://www.reachingatlantica.com/, you will see a list of sponsors and Irving Oil is there along with a few others like the phone co.<br /> <br /> I've got some white cardboard and paint so I'll see what I can whip up tonite. Have CDN flags too.<br /> <br /> Looking forward to it!<br /> Michelle

Irving has always been a big sponsor and donator to AIMS. They try to keep that under wraps, because AIMS says a lot of 'anti canadian' things that might make them look bad. However, Kenneth Irving is giving one of the talks at the conference, so there's certainly no doubt they are sponsoring them.
