"Today is an act of humour in a sense but it's also a profound situation and context," said journalist and activist Stephan Christoff.

Demonstrators pelted the presidential photograph with boots, shoes and slippers and denounced the U.S. war in Iraq and the NATO-led war in Afghanistan before marching to a downtown Canadian Forces recruiting station.
