   Oh man so funny, yet so, so sad at the same time.

2. “To finally have some human rights…” Are You kidding me? Human Rights?
   I am enraged by that statement… More enraged than from freeloading malcontents stealing power or our elected civic government not being accountable for our tax dollars! ENRAGED! WTF is wrong here?

4. My Enmax (City of Calgary municipal government by any other name) bill edges up close to 200 dollars a months. and I’m one person living alone. Besides the cost for power the endless rate riders and mind boggling municipal fees, the taxes and the taxes disguised as fees and the regular ceaseless increases of new fees and taxes from city hall, not to mention the cost of power increases caused by the Alberta government and now thieving entitled hippies I might as well go file a police report because us law abiding tax payers are getting robbed.

5. I would love to go down there and cut every extension cord I can find running into their little shantytown, but I’m sure that I’d be charged with destruction of property, and somehow I doubt that I could get away with claiming that I was exercizing my Charter rights.

7. The parts of this I find the worst are that A) They compared their movement to the solidarity shown in Arab Spring and B) That they are calling running water, electricity and cleanliness human rights. Just another example of how we first worlders don’t understand how lucky we are. There are thousands of people in third world countries who do not have these ‘human rights’, and are lucky if they get even the most basic of actual human rights at all which include genuine needs to LIVE. So frustrating.

8. Hey Everyone.. glad I could brighten all your day will some misinformation.. We had electricity just long enough to plug in some christmas lights for our christmas tree. The power was turned on for the whole park but once the city realized that we at Occupy would get some benefit from it, they shut it off.. It is a shame that many of the worlds people don’t have access to the things we in Canada take for granted on a daily basis and comments like, “My power bill is $200 and I live alone” only make me think of the absurd amount of wastage that takes place right here in our free nation. The fact is, at no point have we impeded any activity at the park as we take up less than 8% of usable space, We’ve saved the lives of two eople, one from a late night stabbing and the other a fire set by an attemt to stay warm, we’ve made it a safer place at night, and the city has given us nothing that wasn’t already part of the Olympic Plaza experience. The porta-potties are there because the bathrooms were closed for repair. They were not given to Occupy but instead to the whole of the city who uses the park.

   A discussion has been created on both side of the street and thusly Occupy Calgary has achieved one of it’s goals. Thank you all, including my friend Cory Morgan for helping to do that. Now if can get past the tenting issue and on to fixing the problems that make life for the 7 billion humans on this wonderful planet unsustainable we will all get to share in that sense of accomplishment.

   Namaste and good day.

9. Are you serious Henyk? I’ve read about failed propaganda attempts before, specifically from the Iraqi Information Minister, but you my friend just totally moved him into second place.

   We know that you were using electricity to power hotplates, laptops and charge cellphones, you’re group admitted it in your facebook page. And the power is turned on for the cities decorations not to power you’re corporately created devices and for the comfort of a bunch of squatters. You’re not protestors, you live in a hobo village and you’re squatters. That city is not free for you’re use to power you’re appliances, if you want to live in the park and have power then pay event rates for the park and pay for the electricity, like the Muslim festival who rented the whole part and you couldn’t have the common courtesy to let them use it.

   I find it highly hypocritical that you’re complaining about a person that pays for their housing and electricity when the only thing that we hear from you’re group is that you want everything for free, condoms, electricity, meeting spaces, AV equipment. And don’t deny that you want these things its on you’re site. Besides who do you think would pay for you’re free stuff if it was granted? That’s right the 99% in this city would bear the burden of it? Who in the heck do you represent anyways, because you don’t represent all of the 99%?

   You’ve impeded the park with the smell of dope, you’ve impeded the park with you’re tents in public spaces, with the damage to the grass, with the poop in the grass. It doesn’t matter if you take up 8% or 80%, you’re squatters, and no one wants to hang out in a park with squatters, you’re right to assemble does not include the right to set up tents and camp, every court decision that again you forced at taxpayers expense has plainly stated that. Assemble all you want, sit around and meditate and do you’re spirit fingers, but quit squatting.

   You haven’t saved two lives, the stabbing happened because those people were drawn to you’re event, the person got burned because he took a candle into a tent that shouldn’t have been there. You claiming that you’re group saves lives is like me throwing a kid under a bus then giving him mouth to mouth and claiming I’m a hero.

   You haven’t made it safer at night, thats obvious by the fact that EMS had to be called to the scene because some idiot set himself on fire, and its the patrols that make the park safe, not you guys.

   The bathrooms were closed for repairs because you’re group damaged them? Did you’re group pay for repairs and the porta-potties, or was it the other 99% that pays municipal taxes? Again thanks for ripping me off.

   You can’t create discussion if you have no clue what you’re protesting and no knowledge about the thing that you’re protesting. The only discussion that’s happened is the overwhelming desire to see the mayor finish off you’re movement, hopefully you’re court date on Friday will finally set things straight. But please clean up you’re mess on the way out, pay you’re fines and go about you’re life.

   I get the occupy movement in the States, I get the anger in the States, and while there’s some trouble in Canada, we currently have one of the best economies in the world, good employment figures, and some of the best social programs in the country. Despite what you’re groups believe there were no bank bailouts, and the bailout to the car companies in Canada not only saved jobs but the funds were paid back.

   If you want to support OWS, please pack up you’re tents and go there.

   I would wish you a good day, but I won’t I wish that instead you have a good journey, out of the park.
