Stop Bill C-15   Formerly Bill C-26
The introduction of mandatory minimums for drug offenses in Canada, including a six-month mandatory prison sentence for growing one cannabis plant! More info on Bill C-15

This legislation that is currently before our Parliament (Bill C-15) is so draconian it includes a mandatory prison sentence for growing as few as ONE cannabis plant... even though the Harper government claims the bill is intended to target "organized crime" and "serious drug offenders."

Posters and Signs.
Every rally should have hand-held posters and signs. Make sure yours are large, with tall, easy-to-read-at-a-distance lettering. Use a dark color for lettering against a light background or light lettering against a dark background. Choose script that is easy to read -- this is not the time for calligraphy. Short, to-the-point slogans are better than long statements. Slogans that rhyme, include a clever play on words, or those that would be suitable for chants make the best poster slogans. Art is good, but it should not be complex. A drawing of a pig, for example, can more easily communicate your opposition to wasteful government spending than a drawing of a specific pork-barrel project. Keep the following in mind: All signs must be readable at a distance, be understandable to an average person in a few seconds, and be just as clear on a black and white screen or photograph as it is in color.

Signs and other materials:
Colorful signs are essential for capturing people’s attention. Make signs that have bold letters and clear messages -- the fewer words, the better. You can paint your signs by hand or enlarge photos that illustrate your issue. Make sure your signs are readable from far away and make for good photo-ops. As with chants, the use of sarcasm or a play on words can be an effective way of communicating.

Make placards and banners
Placards and banners are a striking way of immediately communicating your message to passers-by. If you have a logo or motto, it is important to make this clearly visible. Lower case letters are easier to read, especially from a distance, so avoid whole sentences in full capitals.
