As a protest movement, the Olympic Plaza crowd is a complete and utter fail.

I'm still not sure what Morgan's message was - raising bylaw awareness? Politically opposing apparent left-wing and socialist protesting? Making a point that Nenshi's approach is wrong? I'm not seeing which of these messages is the most visible, even after today's morning news and internet browsing.
Also be careful about the 'growing' part. The numbers have grown quite a bit for Occupy protests, just not in Calgary, which is fine for most everyone here. Quite a different story from in the U.S. since they began.
