I'd also like to know...any updates? Do we have one? Are we getting one?

Stand by for updates.

And yes, we are obtaining the permit. The person who was previously getting the permits has returned to his hometown for the summer, so someone else is now handling it.

Good. I might bring a camcorder, if anybody suspicious is on the roads they're going on the internet.

Well, the fail-raid we went on didn't have that great results, but here's a quick one: [edit removed by request]
Don't know where else to post this, but there you go.

Good work finding that shit. I forgot about it.

finding what? it says [edit removed by request]

did you take it down or was it the scifags?

Errr...I think it got admin'd. I haven't a clue why. It was just an article from snap ottawa downtown that mentioned/had a picture of us.

I've been going to the Toronto ones, but I'll be in Ottawa that weekend. Whereabouts will we be doing this? Also, what times?

I'm guessing may 10th, 11AM at the org on Rideau St. downtown. Probably a pre-protest meet at our meeting spot. Check the Ottawalulz website for everything you need to know about getting involved or coming to the next protest.

Good job postering anons!

Our leader has spoken:


Rule #0: Rules #1 and #2 of the internet still apply. Your memes are not, at this juncture, something that the real world can appreciate. Although meme speak between fellow Anonymous is acceptable, focus on the target and keep it to a minimum.


Rule #1: Stay cool.


Rule #2: Stay cool, especially when harassed. You are an ambassador of Anonymous. Although individuals trying to disrupt your demonstration will get on your nerves, you must not lose your temper. Doing so will harm the protest and tarnish the reputation of Anonymous.


Rule #3: Comply with the orders of law enforcement officers above all else. Doing otherwise is harmful to the demonstration as a whole and may compromise your performance as a human being. Do not request badge numbers unless you are being treated in a very abusive manner, as doing so will anger officers.


Rule #4: Notify city officials. Most jurisdictions either have rules about public protests, or would prefer to be notified that they are taking place. Know the rules for your jurisdiction and abide by them.


Rule #5: Always be across the street from the object being protested.


Rule #6: In the absence of a road, find another natural barrier between yourself and the target of protest. Doing so will make it more difficult for individuals hostile to your cause to come and harass you.


Rule #7: Stay on public property. You may be charged for trespassing if you do not.


Rule #8: No violence.


Rule #9: No weapons. The demonstration is a peaceful event. Your weapons. You will not need them.


Rule #10: No alcohol or pre-drinking. Violating this rule may easily precipitate a violation of rules 1 and 2.


Rule #11: No graffiti, destruction, or vandalism.


Rule #12: If you want to do something stupid, pick another day. These should be self explanatory. Violation of these rules during a demonstration will tarnish the reputation of Anonymous, harm the demonstration itself and leave you vulnerable to attention from law enforcement.


Rule #13: Anonymous is legion. Never be alone. Isolation during a protest marks you as a target for handlers who wish to provoke an angry reaction from you and other hostiles. In keeping with this principle...

Rule #14: Organize in squads of 10 to 15 people.


Rule #15: One or two megaphones per squad. A megaphone is helpful for maintaining the overall cohesion of a demonstration and spreading your message. However, too many will confuse the public and render you hearing impaired.


Rule #16: Know the dress code. Forming a loose yet reasonable dress code for protest members will help to maintain cohesion and get the public to take you seriously.


Rule #17: Cover your face. This will prevent your identification from videos taken by hostiles, other protesters or security. Use scarves, hats and sunglasses. Masks are not necessary, and donning them in the context of a public demonstration is forbidden in some jurisdictions.


Rule #18: Bring water. A dehydrated, thirsty Anonymous is not a useful Anonymous.


Rule #19: Wear good shoes. Following these rules will assure your comfort during the demonstration. Keep in mind that demonstrations may often be quite lengthy.


Rule #20: Signs, fliers, and phrases. Have yours ready. Make sure that signs are large enough to read. Also ensure that the text on your signs and your phrases are pertinent to the target of the protest.


Rule #21: Prepare legible, uncomplicated and accurate flyers to hand out to those who wish to know more regarding the motivations behind your actions.


Rule #22: Document the demonstration. Videos and pictures of the event may be used to corroborate your side of the story if law enforcement get involved. Furthermore, posting images and videos of your heroic actions all over the internet is bound to generate win, exhorting other Anonymous to follow your glorious example.


If you follow these simple rules, the success of your action is virtually assured. However, keep in mind that the success of the demonstration as a whole hinges on the good behavior of all those who participate. Ignore these rules at your own peril. Follow them, and victory will be yours.

All hail Anonymous!

Update: We has a permit.

I've also found out that we do not technically need a permit to protest in Ottawa (or possibly anywhere in Canada, because of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms). However, getting one does smooth things over with the relevant municipal, federal, and law enforcement agencies. There's a whole list of people who get notified when a permit is granted.

Here's a request over on Clambake from Chuck Beatty that deserves more attention (hope you're OK with my repost Chuck):

Request for any ex WISE members, Eastern Canada, please call
me, 412-260-1170

Media in eastern Canada seek former Scientologists familiar with WISE Canada activity and WISE in general.

Oh well I'm back home, uni is over so I won't be in Ottawa protesting this time. Hope you guys enjoy your time Saturday. I've been to every protest and you ottawafags are cool people.

Any chance of some anon in the western part of the city bringing an extra GF mask that I can pay them for?
