Protests against France. Demonstration in Ottawa.

A student has told one of our trainers that there has been a campaign run via Mobile phone messaging to boycott French products in Wuxi because of the trouble that happened at the Paris portion of the Olympic torch relay.  This would mean not going to Carrefour to shop.  As well, there have been demonstrations at the local universities against the Olympic trouble and specifically against England and France..

I found items on the Internet about the demonstration in Ottawa, Canada put on by overseas Chinese for the Olympics.  My mother-in-law mentioned hearing about it on the radio yesterday.  Here is the Canadian version of the event.  Here is the Chinese version.
