I'm sure this song would solve the issue

I think we have indulged the occupy movement long enough in Alberta. pat pat pat, there you go. Go get a shower, find a job, and get out of my face. Lots of jobs available right now - temporary foreign workers are being recruited for the labour shortage.

It's not often that I wish for a severe cold snap, but here I am.

As my g/f puts it: "I'm so mad at people making money, that I'm gonna go be a bum downtown".

Olympic Plaza is sorely in need of a renovation/revitalization (much like Central Memorial in the Beltline). I believe there are tentative plans out there to make it a much better space and less of a "toilet".

I guess getting all this poop out of there is the first step.

The whole letter is problematic. It sounds like it's coming from a petulant child ready to take his ball him.

You don't seem to know much about the author.

I get it. I decided to go with a polite response to a ignorant letter.

I don't think it's a toilet at all. Sure it has some design issues but overall since the drug trade has been cleaned up and they've done simple things like put a bunch of free-standing cafe tables and chairs and flowers under the purgola it's actually a very pleasant place to hang out. Throughout the summer I had usually 2-3 meetings a week, with my insomnia coffee, outside in the plaza. Lots of people hanging out having lunch and enjoying some of the shows that are put on. Maybe you haven't been there for a while?

Ignorant letter addressing an ignorant protest. Seems fitting, no?

Jeez, I'm almost embarrassed for her. It's one of those awkward moments when someone is trying to sound all edumacated, but fails.
She should be protesting the failure of the education system.
