Calling all GTA applicants, Protest against delays in Ajax Thursday at 2pm

And the fb group is counting 669 members. Not more than that from the GTA?
Next time try a non business day.
I would have joined if it was not 6 hours drive from my city.

I send that, wish it was a non business day may be a sat or sun. I would have joined as well

Yeah that was an extremely poor turn out..

Where were you? Don't criticize those of us who made the effort.

While the turnout was lower than expected, at least there were workers (and I use the term loosely) in the MP's office that day to at least see those protesting. Had it been on a weekend, there may have been more `outside', but without anyone `inside'...what would be the point?

The point would have been to alert the media and public opinion. The MPs will move only if they think they might lose their next election and this is done by alerting the public opinion. The working people inside are already very aware of the waiting times. Its not them we have to convince.
That said, kudos to the people who took the time to be there.
