One of the protesters opposing military action against Iran. The main body of protesters is behind him, across the street.
For its size, Calgary has a history of lacking political activism, and a lot of the same people showing up. But, there was some more diversity today.
Those who identify as Occupy Calgary held a protest against a potential war by the US against Iran, outside the U.S. Consulate. Also present were counter-protesters, who want to US military action against Israel.
In sight, starting later, outside City Hall, there were two, mainly non-English protests. From what I saw, Russian Canadians were protesting against Putin, and then some Egyptian Canadians were protesting, I assumed against the military rulers. Since I only speak English, and had to leave early, I really didn’t get the full message of either one.
