Over 3,000 brave the cold... many more to come
On the first day of the We Are Many Festival, Joel
Plaskett and the Emergency rocked the show and completed a day of great
performances and exciting workshops. By the end of the day, over three
thousand people had visited the festival. Despite our frosty breath and
our bundled condition, everyone had a great time.
Today we're
expecting even more to come out and enjoy the sunny weather. Check out today's schedule, highlights
include Fred Penner, the Weakerthans, and Tom Jackson, alongside a
bunch of really interesting workshops.
See you there!
The We Are Many Festival.

WAM - what a pile of money-making, bureaucratic HOG WASH!
It's amazing the b.s. people will spew - and we thought religious leaders were the only ones!
Be realisitic - Scientists have proven most of your "ass-u-m-ptions inaccurate!
Give this phoney "Green" stuff a rest already!
So at the global justice tent does one make "connections between environment, development and global solidarity" in order to, presumably, fight globalization?
What a joke. Get Dion to speak about his carbon tax that will actually increase C02 emissions.
Raising the cost of doing business here will cause it to move to China where there are no pollution rules. That means more pollution.
It's insane, and doubly so since the planet has cooled for the last ten years.
Wake up and look at both sides of the issue instead of being brainwashed by the liberal party and snake oil salesmen like Al Gore.
Do it for the planet.
So, I'm curious. I've seen the coverage in the paper which included photos. Are you sure there were thousands of people in attendance? Do you have a photo?
I can not express my disappointment in WAM organizers and participants at the state they left Diefenbaker park in after the conclusion of the festival. Today there was signs, garbage, recycling littered ALL OVER the park where the festival was held.
After seeing the state of the park I would have to say that the desired outcome of your event was futile and holds no merit if organizers/paticipants can not even clean up after themselves, how are they going to clean up the rest of the city/province/country/world?
You have let a lot of local Saskatoon residents down that use Diefenbaker park.
I guess you're actually not that many, after all? Thank God.
Global warming is only the latest fad of the West's anti-man intellectual brigade. Their goal is not to protect the Earth from (a non-existent) crisis, but to push the evil doctrine of altruism: that man should sacrifice his happiness to some "higher ideal." Altruism, in whatever variant, socialism, communism, environmentalism, welfarism, religion, etc, is anti-individual and contrary to the requirements of man's life.
If you really want to be a responsible social activist, start testing the legitimacy of the authority of the status quo by questioning, doubting and challenging politicians, PR firms, consultants posing as scientists and fear the mongering corporate media.
This self-indulgent new age superstition called global warming is leading responsible environmentalism down the wrong road.
Lets’ preserve, protect and most of all respect our environment instead saving and rescuing it from a non-existent crisis with mass fear.
Think of our children and not your “feel good” do Gooding.
wow! angst much from the haters... postive thinking anyone?
