TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- Organizers expect up to 15,000 activists to march on the Canadian capital Ottawa on Tuesday to protest the policies of U.S. President George W. Bush during his two-day visit to the country.
The spokesman for a coalition of protest groups said he expected 10,000-15,000 protesters, including about 4,000 out-of-towners who have already signed up for buses from as far away as Windsor, near Detroit.
The No to Bush Committee is organizing the two main protests in Ottawa on Tuesday: a march at noon and a candlelight vigil on Parliament Hill at 5 p.m. (2300 GMT).
The group is a coalition of the federal New Democratic Party; unions; the Canadian Peace Alliance, which an umbrella organization of some 100 groups; and the Canadian Arab Federation.
"These are meant to be large, diverse, peaceful and powerful protests. This is the mantra that we are working on," said committee spokesman Joe Cressy.
