However if they truly believed in the concept of free speech then get a job, or take a shower would be treated as a valid opinion and she should be fighting to protect that statement.
Of is it charter for some? and not for others?

That's exactly the hypocrisy of it in my eyes. The Occupy Calgary group has taken a hardline approach to free speech/assembly with their actions. Basically any attempt to edit/limit their actions is a gross violation of the charter & they'll be hell to pay if anyone tells them to quite down or move.
But when people are attacking them or their group the charter is suddenly removed from the conversation "hey! you can't say that!" or "Shut up cory! your truck is killing us all!"
At the end of the day I just wish this group would go home. We've long since passed the point of dialoge and they are just drunk with the shred of power they've gained from planting their butts in everyone's faces.
