    A million, eh? I’ll be impressed if they number much more than a hundred, and surprised if they outnumber the counter-protesters. But this is the kind of protest The News loves to report on, so we’re all hearing about it before it even happens.

      Their goal was to get 1 million across all of Canada, not just in one place.

      I live in SK, and based on what I what I saw, I would not be surprised if there were between 100-200 people at the pro-“making kids homeless by outing them to their parents” demonstration at my town.

      They’re still not going to hit a million, but probably a more than a couple thousand.
