Those are the best ones to go to. Print off an American/Canadian flag on 
your computer (unless you know someone thats got one). Get a bunch of 
friends and go down there and blend in. Then when everyone starts marching 
or all the media folks show up (and believe me all of them show up) start up 
the chants like..."Kill the poor, eat their babies!"

I went to the "march for capitalism" last year and it was a blast.

In today's Province, at the end of the story about Friday & Saturday's
Peace Rallies, it says:

Meanwhile, a pro-American rally is being planned today for 2 p.m. at the
foot of Burrard Bridge to show support for the coalition troops.

The rally is to be held on the Kitsilano side of the bridge near
Canadian Tire. Organizers are asking people to bring American,
Australian, British and even Canadian flags to the rally.

Similar rallies are being planned in Winnipeg, Toronto and Lethbridge,
Alta.

The Province's free advertisement for their right-wing pals, if they
were capable of being honest, would say that they're having a pro-war
rally at Peace Flame Park. I'm going to the Peace Camp, I can't be
bothered with these losers and their clear attempt at provocation.
Support the troops! Don't make me laugh. Your know how the U.S.
government supports their troops? Last week the U.S. Congress voted to
cut their veterans' benefits by 25 billion dollars over 10 years. Those
tax cuts for the rich have to come from somewhere. That's how they
"support the troops". And why not? Only one member of Congress has an
enlisted son or daughter, so why should they give a shit?
