B次元官网网址淭his is basically to give the people of Victoria the chance to vent out some anger at the Liberal government for their buyout of the pipeline, to indicate that we still say no,B次元官网网址 said Salish Sea Organizing representative Sue Andrews. B次元官网网址淛ust because the [pipeline] has changed ownership, it hasnB次元官网网址檛 changed our initiative.B次元官网网址

The protest starts with a rally in front of the Visitor Information Centre at 5:30 p.m., followed by a raucous march to Centennial Square.

B次元官网网址淲e want people to bring pots and pans, musical instruments, anything loud,B次元官网网址 Andrew said.

As of mid-week the Facebook event lists 400 people as attending, but she anticipated more will take part given the diversity of groups co-hosting the march.
