edit After consideration and with regret, I am not that comfortable having political views represented so openly in a very public space. Not a retraction of my position but the issue of permanence is a massive privacy concern for me over a subject this sensitive and contentious. Sorry if this breaks thread flow.

If you were to walk around Ottawa and ask random protestors whether they’re aware of the document and what it states, how many do you think would know? I’ve listened to quite a few interviews with them and have not heard one mention of this document. If the people protesting aren’t aware of it, then it isn’t significant.
I would venture to say almost none and that's exactly what bothers me about it. If they did know about it, do you think they would be comfortable realizing they're in the position of being a negotiating tool to achieve this political end?
