Remember Petros... Cliffy promised big changes this summer. I have the page book marked so we can follow it through and perhaps have a discussion in September.
He promised them back in February "Shut Down Canada". A nation wide " just you wait". 6 people in Regina stopped traffic for 15 minutes. It could have went longer but two guys were going to beat the **** out of the protesters so the cops took them to safety.

RAW: Shut Down Canada group on Albert Street
VIDEO
A group of people taking part in a Shut Down Canada protest movement managed to slow traffic in Regina for a few minutes on Friday.
The protests, organized through Facebook, took place in various Canadian cities. It appears to have a number of criticisms about several government positions and policies. The Regina version attracted nine people.
One of the people in the Regina group, Daniel Johnson, tried to tamper with a signaling system at a level crossing on Albert Street North.
Police were ready for him.
"I didn't think that they were going to know that part of the plan," Johnson said "I thought I was being vague enough about what we were going to do that they wouldn't know to disable the signaling system. I did not see that coming."
Johnson received a warning that his actions could lead to him being arrested.
"They pretty much said that if I tried this again that they would," Johnson said. "They told me that they disabled the signaling system and that it wouldn't work and they pretty much knew exactly what I was doing and told me to remove the wire."
The protest also attracted some attention from slowed motorists, one of whom berated the group for their behaviour.
