We have a good social program net, and especially in Calgary if you want to work you'll work, it might not be in your chosen field but you have options.

And that's the biggest problem here. Protests can be effective... if you are acting against a specific grievance. But given that things in Calgary aren't all that bad for a very large majority of the population, it is hard for people to get upset.
"Occupy Calgary"? It just feels like a hipster protest. Fighting the man. Why? Well, we have no idea, but fighting the man is the 'in' thing to do these days, and we're going to do it!
