It wasn't meant to sway anyone's opinion. As already stated, the medium is the message, and the message was "Look at me! I'm Greenpeace!"
Nobody cares what they had to say because their message was secondary to themselves by design.
Civil disobedience done right:
You will note that this anti Liberal/Bloc/NDP coalition rally in front of City Hall was not blocking the roadway, not representing a danger to innocent bystanders and did not force closure and financial loss on any businesses.
Calgarians and Canadians showed that they did not support the opposition parties without the need to break the law or disrupt the lives of their fellow citizens. How the hell can several thousand everyday people manage that but three tards from Greenpeace can't? The answer is that their goal was to pull off a self-promotional stunt, not send a message.
