Vive le Canada.ca is seeking indymedia style, eyewitness reports from anyone attending protests against the SPP. It's easy to post to Vive--just click on "contribute" in the top menu and fill out the form. Once our editors approve your submission (which we do only to weed out potential spam or hate speech) they will be posted to the front page. Vive will be updated several times a day until the SPP protests end on August 21.
Alternatively you can simply email reports to susan.thompson@vivelecanada.ca and we'll post them for you.
We can offer a huge amount of exposure for these reports, since Vive is well-established (having been around since 2003) and is consistently one of the top or the top Google result for search terms like "deep integration" and "SPP protests". We receive averages of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of hits a day. We are read by people across Canada and the U.S., including politicians and mainstream media reporters, and have received national media attention frequently in the past.
We hope that during the SPP protests, we can be a vehicle to help counter the bias the mainstream media is likely to show and give a voice to those who are on the ground and witness to the events that take place, including everything from protest activities to turnout to police response.
But it all depends on you! Post those reports to Vive, and let your voice be heard!

Don't want to be an American idiot / One nation controlled by the media / Information age of hysteria / It's calling out to idiot America.--Green Day
Just be aware that the police have been known to plant their own instigators into protest crowds to incite violence as an excuse to disperse the crowds, make arrests, and discredit the protesters, so keep a keen watch out for these guys and get them on camera if you can - then run like hell before they get you!

Once it was decided that Canada was to be a branch-plant society of American capitalism, the issue of Canadian nationalism had been settled.--George Grant
