Who you make yourself visible to matters though.. even if there were 100,000 tourists, they’re not about to climb back onto the boat at the end of their visit and email an MLA to express their lack of support.

No but the businesses that rely on the tourists won't be thrilled about a bunch of protesters yelling at their customers.

Why will the protestors be yelling at tourists exactly?

Do you think they just plan to sit there silently?

A good protest shouldn’t require yelling at passerby’s tbh. And if those you’re yelling at are only in town for 12hr, it’s even more illogical.

Just my opinion.

Tourists, particularly if they're American since Americans are the ones who have been the canary in the coal mine for the surveillance data centres built by big tech, would probably be sympathetic.
