(Clearwisdom.net) "The Communist Party is synonymous with criminals, and the biggest disaster in this world is the Communist Party," a man said emotionally. At 3:00 p.m. on August 26, 2007, the Montreal Service Center for Quitting the CCP held a parade in Chinatown to support the 25 million people who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

One man took two flyers, saying that one was for his friend. He said that his name was Slavie Panauf and that he was from Bulgaria. He said that the number of people killed by Mao Zedong and Stalin far exceeds the total number of people who were killed in the two World Wars. "The name Communist is equal to criminal," he said.

A 20-year-old French woman passing by Chinatown came to get a flyer. She was very angry when she heard that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. What she thought was even more intolerable was that some Chinese people showed an indifferent attitude toward the news. She said, "In the face of such a horrific event as their own compatriots having their organs harvested while they are still alive, they do nothing? I think this is very shameful. That's very sad."

She was very pleased to learn that Falun Gong is taught free of charge. She asked for the Falun Dafa website and said she would come to learn to practice Falun Gong.

The coordinator of the parade, Mr. Wei, a volunteer for the Montreal Service Center for Quitting the CCP, said that since the Epoch Times published the editorial series Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in November 2004, volunteers at the Service Center for Quitting the CCP have been handing out copies of the Nine Commentaries every day in order to help more people see clearly the CCP's evil nature. They also want to spread the news that many more Chinese people have quit. They hope that more people will quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations as soon as possible.

Mr. Wei said that, while the wave of people quitting the CCP has been moving forward, Montreal's Chinatown has undergone great changes. More and more people are taking copies of the Nine Commentaries, and more and more people have signed the signature collection book to announce their renunciation of the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He said, "Recently, several people have come up to encourage us, saying that we have done a very meaningful thing and that we have done well. People are inspired by what we are doing. More and more people have realized that only by quitting the CCP, will there be a hopeful future."

During the one-hour procession around Chinatown and the surrounding streets, many people watched and took materials. Many Chinese people were not as fearful as before and walked up to volunteers for the Service Center to Quit the CCP to express their admiration. When the procession passed by, some Chinese Canadians nodded and offered praise, some made a thumbs-up gesture, and some said repeatedly, "Good! Good! Good! I'm very happy to see this parade."
