Join us on Parliament Hill to take part in a mass homeopathic overdose! We hope to get a crowd of skeptics together in front of the Canadian Parliament to take copious amounts of homeopathic remedies. The protest is to highlight the fact that there really is nothing in it! You are welcome to buy your own homeopathic remedies of choice and we will be bringing some that we made ourselves.
*****UPDATED DETAILS
We will be meeting around 10am around the centennial flame at Parliament Hill. Our event permit says that we have to stand "between the main stairs and the Centennial Flame on the paved areas only" and we cannot obstruct pedestrian traffic. We'll figure out where we are going to stand once we are congregated.
We'll start the event around 10.20am to give people a bit of extra time to arrive and a chance to say "hi". The event will kick-off with a short intro, then we'll overdose at 10.23am. I'll just keep talking for a little while (maybe 15 minutes but maybe less if it's really cold) about why homeopathy is absurd and unsupported, checking-in from time to time to see how everyone is doing with the meds. We'll make sure to get plenty of good photos in front of the Parliament buildings, and be finished by 11am.
After that we'll be heading off to find brunch somewhere, if people are interested. Right now, the number of RSVPs (between two Meetup groups and Facebook) stands at 29, so we should be a fairly healthy crowd! Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
