Right.
This is a subject that needs management and control to present a group properly at a rally.
And prevent it being misrepresented or hijacked by bad elements.
To show solidarity we have to have solidarity and discipline. The orgs need to establish that without looking (again this is how it would be attacked) that they are organizing a private army.
The need for solidarity and discipline is that anybody that does not represent our norms and values stands out and is clearly separated from our group.
And that we have identified spokespeople AND ONLY THEY SPEAK FOR US.
Anybody else says they are happy to be there, they love Canada and our hobby and refer the interviewer to the Org Spokespeople for any questions.
Its simple but needs to be done for an effective rally
Rally 101
Bring absolutely not even a picture of a firearm or anything firearm related.
1 Show up on time.
2 Wear street cloths and presentably groomed.
3 Bring significant others and children.
4 Bring Canadian flags.
5 Follow instructions from the Org organizers.
6 No insulting, violent or other speech or action such as that which identifies any minority group etc etc
7 Immediately move away from anyone who violates rule 6) to isolate them and split them from our members
8 No opinion or attempts to answer media questions other than referring them to the organizations, organizers, spokespeople and official media releases and information sheets
Otherwise simple disruption and Agitation Propaganda tactics will take us down.
Now the point is not to moan and groan that the orgs are not doing this, did not do this, are not effective.
Just let them know that we need to make our presence felt and that this is an opportunity where we need their management to make it effective.
