Calgary Sun editorial:
http://www.calgarysun.com/2011/10/11...-be-tough-sell

"It’s tough to comprehend what the Occupy Calgary crowd is so worked up about.
“We don’t want to see corporate greed — we want to see recognitionof human need,” says one of its spokemen.
We say spokesmen, because this group claims to have no leaders."

and

"Our prediction is the protest is bound to fizzle out anyway.
Calgarians are too busy working and helping others to pay attention to the whines of a few feckless malcontents."

And before someone says what garbage the Sun is - the facts are they are one of two major papers in this market....so their coverage is important. Already we are seeing that the vagueness and lack of leadership with this movement is impacting what type of attention the press will give it.
