   Remember  the call from a Liberal leader:   "Rise up, rise up, rise up   
   Canada, RISE UP!"  ?   
      
   Time is now.  The right wing is scrambling to get its feet under it.   
   Better not to trust them getting back up . . . .

   Protesters greet Stephen Harper at Montreal speech   
      
      
   MONTREAL — A protest against Conservative government policies outside   
   the venue where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was giving a lunch-time   
   speech dissipated shortly after it was declared illegal by Montreal police.   
      
   About 150 people gathered outside Montreal’s Palais des congrès just   
   before noon Friday.   
      
   Protester Jaggi Singh listed grievances against Harper on a megaphone   
   for the crowd, including the government’s neglect of native communities,   
   cuts to social programs and development of oil sands projects to the   
   detriment of the environment.   
      
   Dozens of police officers in fluorescent yellow vests stood nearby   
   watching as protesters sang and chanted anti-capitalist and anti-Harper   
   songs and slogans.   
      
   When the group began marching, Montreal police declared it illegal since   
   organizers had not filed their route plan in advance as required under   
   controversial city bylaw P-6.   
      
   Past demonstrations against the bylaw, which also outlaws the wearing of   
   masks, have led to scuffles and arrests.   
      
   In this case protesters left and no arrests were made.   
      
   Harper was speaking to the Montreal Board of Trade.
