They failed "Canadian'ize" the movement and as a result just ended up looking foolish and ticking the general public off. (Calgary in particular, IMO)

Ditto for Vancouver, completely agree.
In fact, at first I was pretty supportive of the Occupy Vancouver people because I assumed they were doing it to supposed those in the US.
Turns out they were just useless hippies after all.
