Oh Cory. <3 <3.

The worst thing about all this is those pro-union jerks in the police uniforms had to protect that guy in the chicken get-up from "bumping" and foul (fowl?) language.

I guess we know what side their bread is buttered on. The COMMUNIST side (also known as the side of bread that has butter on it when it lands on their Stalinist marble floor that their dad bought with an iPad).

Not sure what my volunteer time has to do with it, all the same I will answer.

I am the treasurer of my community association and am a WRP director. Both of these generally keep me busy most week nights and weekends. Averages about 20-25 hours a week. (this is on top of my regular 40 hrs/wk at work)

And as previously mentioned in this thread we occasionally help out homeless individuals by providing them transitional housing. (Currently have 2)

We give to the food bank; contribute money to charities and give blood.
In all honesty good for you.

I wonder if I can Jedi mind trick these people.

Step 1: Set up tent in Olympic Plaza.

Step 2: Call number ay 6:00 am request they come clean up my yard.

Step 3: When I give them address, they will walk down to my tent, and I will declare Olympic plaza my yard.

Step 4: They remove their feces, squatter structures, and garbage from Olympic plaza.

Step 5: Profit?

Looks like the 24 hours notice to evict has been given, it'll be interesting to see if they leave (they won't) and how the city reacts after 9:00am tomorrow.

They will just rotate and cover each others tents.
Occupy is going nowhere until they are physically removed.

Nenshi vs the rest of city hall who wanted eviction to be done weeks ago vs public defication.

The squatters have been all away playing make believe protest several times and you did jack squatt to act while they were most vulrable.

Well done Barney.

What's the purpose of filming though? What is to be gained by doing that?

He's bored.
He's on time off.
He's been following it.
He's been advocating for equal application of by-laws.

Pick whatever reason you want.

Frankly, I wish he hadn't gone down. Each time he has they have become more aggressive towards him.

Alright. Just sounds like he has a personal vendetta against the whole thing more than anything though, especially after the truck incident.

Publicly sharing his views on an issue that concerns him....

Hmm sounds familiar and he's not even sleeping in a tent to do it.

It's too bad your husband is focusing on that, and not really researching the bigger issues as to why these protests are happening in the first place. I agree the Calgary movement is silly, but maybe your husband's time would be better served by addressing some of the issues as to why people, in general, are participating in these movements.

Perhaps Cory can go to New York, conduct some research on the movement there, and bring his findings back here to share with everyone?

Filming unoccupied tents is one thing, but his time could be better spent doing something more constructive. Just my opinion though.

Well this is different from being "bored" or "having time off".

So there is an agenda behind the filming then? And what happens next after the filming? Taking the footage to CTV and CBC?

I applaud his dedication. Hopefully he gets some good footage when something finally happens if ever. As for these zipper heads i want to see them scream and flail like we all know they will when the police get tough.

Lets call this mayor to settle Nenshi's buddy buddy decision making

And what would be the problem with that? Sure he has an agenda, as do the people camped out there. Why is his questioned while theirs is accepted?
