France and Tibet (and Canada)

The Independence Torch has reached France, and the Rangzen Flame has been passed on. Tibetans and Tibet supporters took to the streets of Paris yesterday in celebration as much as in protest.

There are Tibetan flags all over the south of France, too - we were there this past week and a month ago - and it is refreshing to find compatriots for one nation dear to my heart in another country dear to my heart, the latter in which I happen to live. I wonder - and can you please tell me? - is it the same in Canada, yet another nation dear to my heart? Are Tibetan supporters coming out of the woodwork with their flags and their protests and their TV and radio specials?

I highly recommend taking a look at the three photos and the news story about Paris here.
