Protesters in Stratford take aim at Bill C-51

A large group of people made their voices heard in Stratford.

They gathered downtown Saturday to protest Bill C-51.

Ethan Rabidoux, the federal Perth-Wellington NDP candidate, was in attendance.

He says Bill C-51 is not what the Harper Government claims it to be:

Rabidoux adds one of the problems with the bill is its lack of specifics:

He also believes the bill violates people’s rights unnecessarily:

Rabidoux estimates nearly 125 people showed up throughout the course of the protest.
