Depends on the change. Also, you act as if such a change would be unprecedented. Anybody from Alberta should know full well that grassroots movements can radically alter the political landscape.
But we're moving in circles back to the opening questions: What is it that you hope to change, and what are your suggestions to foster said change? When OccupyWallStreet finally figures that it, it could certainly become a vehicle for real change.
Knockoffs like OccupyCalgary? Not so much. For the most part, those will simply follow the lead of Slutwalk. People show up, people make noise, people go home, people return to their normal lives.
