Security and Prosperity Partnership Protests Blanket Canada

Angry anarchists and family-friendly activists converged on the posh Montebello resort in Quebec on Monday to protest the North American Leaders' Summit.

A few hundred protesters, some wearing anarchist red-and-black flags, left from Concordia University in downtown Montreal aboard a convoy of yellow school buses.

They carried signs condemning U.S. President George W. Bush as a war criminal and calling for an end to environmental destruction.

A perceived lack of transparency in the negotiations, however, has provoked the ire of anti-globalization activists, environmentalists, peaceniks, and civil rights groups -- all suspicious of the outcome.

 
Sunday, hundreds of demonstrators marched from Canada's parliament to the US and Mexican embassies in Ottawa, railing against the SPP.
