NEWS: Fire the Liars protest on Parliament Hill

Metro News reports, “Protesters are planning to welcome parliamentarians back to the House today with a rally they’re calling ‘Fire the Liars’. Organizer Ken Lewenza Jr. said he’s hoping at least 100 people will attend a protest on Parliament Hill Monday at noon. They will be demanding the resignations of cabinet ministers Tony Clement, Bev Oda, Peter MacKay and House Leader Peter Van Loan.”

The Council of Canadians joined this protest on Parliament Hill.

As noted on the ‘Fire the Liars’ web-page, “Fire the Liars is a national, non partisan campaign demanding accountability and transparency in all deliberations before our federal parliament. We insist on the immediate resignation of Conservative cabinet Ministers: Tony Clement, Bev Oda, Peter MacKay and House Leader Peter Van Loan; for their willful participation in attempts to deceive the Canadian public. We’re alarmed they’ve continued to defend this debauchery by asserting their privilege to lie as a right of free speech, as condoned by Prime Minister Harper.”
