If the occupy Calgary protestors wanted to have a real impact they'd go to New York and join hands in solidarity with the occupy new york crowds. That would have an impact and I could respect that.
But after watching interviews with a lot of the protestors here and in Toronto I came away with a sense that they are taking America's problems with their unregulated banking industry and unemployement and the mortgage stuff and trying unscuccessfully to apply them to Canada.
All it is right now is shouting populist jingo's without understanding the substance behind it.
