Notes: John Lennon and Yoko Ono had flown to Toronto, Canada the previous day for the latest episode in their ongoing campaign
for peace. On this day they gave a press conference at the city`s Ontario Science Center.

The conference was attended by more than 50 members of the press and broadcast media. Although Lennon and Ono outlined a range
of protest ideas, none apart from the "War is over" poster campaign would come to fruition.

The whole press conference lasted for 53 minutes, with the reporters unusually sympathetic towards the peace campaign.
