Casseroles Nights in Canada adds a Form to make adding map place markers easier

The Casseroles Movement started in Qu?bec in early May after the Charest Government passed it's (likely) unconstitutional anti-student-protest law - Bill 78. People from neighbourhoods all over Montreal began coming out of their houses near dusk, and began quietly at first, tapping wooden spoons on soup pots and sauce pans. Soon they began to march along the streets of their?neighbourhoods, gathering marchers as they went - night after night. Soon the neighbourhood marches began to make their way downtown - to where the students on strike - now for over 100 days - gathered very night to pressure the?Charest Government?to talk to them.

On May 26th OccupyToronto organized a Casseroles Solidarity Rally at Dundas Square in the heart of downtown Toronto. The day after, people in the Occupy Google Groups were talking baout expanding the events to other neighbourhoods - just as had happened in Montreal and also, all over the Province of Qu?bec.

By the the end of the day "Casseroles Night in Canada" was being organizd by folks from acoss the country - and on Wednesday May 30th Canada held it's first coast-to-coast-to-coast Casserole eveming walk with clanging and banging pots and pans and wooden spoons. Canadians were clearly outraged by the draconian Bill 78, and inspired by the beautiful tactics of the?Quebecois?in the face of politically inspired police brutality?against?peaceful protesters.

So many villages, towns and cities joined in for the Wednesday, May 30th casseroles, someone copied the Quebec example and starting building a map as a way to record this?unprecedented explosion of?Canadian grass roots political organizing - and to better network the movement for freedom of all Canadians - in all Provinces - after the?precedents set in Quebec.

Here's a LIVE embed of the map:
