But here is a photo essay on the Plaza ones.

One of the questions is regarding employment. Under "occupation".

I said it to Slava the other day. I clearly have a different definition of occupation.

I'm sure there are a few that are homeless, and if that's the case fine go ahead and protest, but do it on St. Patrick's Island.

What really bugs me though is kids like my cousin who are so freaking clueless. He wants to protest everything about Calgary despite the fact that he's reaping all the benefits of being in that 1% he thinks actually exists, and his biggest problem is arguing with his siblings on facebook about who is going to take out the garbage (I swear to God that's not something I made up). Meanwhile he bitches about how it's impossible to find a job (with his degree in eco tourism, yes apparenlty that's a thing), and instead of doing something productive like looking for a job, he goes down to Olympic Plaza to hang out and sing s****y protest songs for two weeks. And, he's doing this with a bunch of smell hippies who I'm sure are, or soon will be reaping the benefits of the social security net being provided by the 99.99% of us who are actually being productive members of society.
