# Anti-war protest hits downtown Halifax

Apparently some people were [planning a big anti-war protest](http://thechronicleherald.ca/Metro/489813.html) for Saturday around noon. I was just coming out of the farmer's market as it was getting started, so naturally, I whipped out my trusty camera and [started taking pictures](http://flickr.com/photos/stevedinn/sets/72057594085060874/) [and a video](http://youtube.com/watch?v=dt88bw9K0QA). Sorry about the quality of the video, it looks much better on my computer than on YouTube.

After they walked past me on Lower Water Street, I went to get my car, but I lost them. However, I was pretty sure they'd head for Spring Garden Road, since that's where they'd cause the most disruption. I beat them there and got some more photos ;)
