This morning I came across a story written by Licia Corbella, in the Calgary
Herald. At first her story made me smile – then
it made me laugh – but then to tell you the truth, it annoyed the heck out of me. If you haven’t seen or read this, why not take
a moment to do so?
The contrast
couldn’t be more stark between the Famous 5 celebrants and Occupy Calgary
protesters meeting just steps apart Tuesday.
At around noon,
about 40 women in hats gathered at the Famous 5 statue at Olympic Plaza to
celebrate the 82nd anniversary of women being declared “persons” in Canada, on
Oct. 18, 1929. Those five women are proof of the incredible power a few
determined, focused people can make when they have a clear plan to achieve a
clear goal.
Just steps away,
18 Occupy Calgary protesters are gathering for their daily meeting at noon,
called by Sheehan Herlein, next to the pretty pond the City of Calgary’s
taxpayers pay for in the square, along with the clean and functioning washroom
facilities and pretty flowers.
