Protesters gather downtown to mourn what they are calling "Victims of Harperism"

A large group of people gathered in downtown Ottawa Saturday morning to take part in an anti-Stephen Harper protest.

The protest started on the lawn of the Supreme Court of Canada and the silent march then made its way to Parliament Hill.

The group says Stephen Harper's Conservative government is tarnishing Canada's international reputation and Canadian values. Organizers say casualties of "Harperism" include civil liberties and Parliamentary debate.
