I'm trying to get a sense from main stream media what the protests are all about, but all the articles I read don't get into the details of the issues. They talk about the protest in general terms, but unlike during the BLM protest, they rarely state what issues the rally is trying to address, and all the details of the matter. Trying to keep Canadians blind and passive. Easier to control if you keep them docile through ignorance.

The Ottawa police negotiating with the organizers told them another protest is not allowed.
The organizers literally said it's not a protest, that they are only restoring honour to the memorial.

Sounds like an admixture of boomers keen on purposing a long-ride, glowies, and unfocused frustration.
Would avoid like the plague.
Unless a protest has an orthodoxy (i.e. a mission, set realistic goals, a schedule, etc.) and a hierarchy, it is doomed to fail.
I take your points, but would revisit mine:
There is a difference between socializing and purposed public engagement. If you want to find each other, throw a social. Rent out a Legion Hall. Build a mailing list. Foster those connections. Build common cause. THEN go public.
"You cannot grow a beard in a moment of passion."
Meeting people without a purpose in a protest / demonstration environment means you won't accomplish anything. (If, however, you met up before hand i.e., at a legion social, and coordinated, set goals, etc., you can execute in a synchronous fashion, utilizing your time and resources more effectively / judiciously.)
Don't get me wrong: I am all about getting involved. I started HeadlinesInGIFs.com; ThePopCan.net. I had produced over fifty hours of video content before I got permanently terminated from YouTube. I was red-pilling 31K on Tumblr before getting a lifetime ban. I engage people in my church community and elsewhere. But when it's about more than just building social connections, you have to be strategic and intentional about it.
And I shouldn't have ruled out the good of the rallies entirely. I do hope they are fruitful; just based on the website, I couldn't find anything substantial. IF you go, good luck to you and may it yield results or friendships!
