Yeah, but you say that because thats your opinion (and also for a timely quip). Not everyone agrees with the "failure" part. As a communicator for a living, I actually think it's a success. You don't think the protestors know the public backlash they're going to get by doing this? My friend, they've calculated that deep in their plan. Greenpeace has long dealt with negative reactions - it's practically part of their business model.
Protesting against anything oil is always an uphill battle in Calgary, so the reactions among Calgarians shouldn't be surprising.
