Calgary Tamils protest Sri Lanka
Tamil Canadians gathered outside the U.S. consulate in downtown Calgary to call on the U.S. to help Tamils in Sri Lanka. Demonstrators expressed support for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, better known as the "Tamil Tigers", who are designated as a terrorist organization by the Canadian government. The Tamil protesters want that status ended, and want the world to pressure Sri Lanka to accept a cease fire with the Tigers.

Waving the flag of the Tamil Tigers
A large portion of the protesters flew the Tamil Tigers emblem, featuring a tiger on top of bayoneted rifles, and a ring of bullets. I'm not sure if anybody the noticed the irony of flying a flag, featuring bayonet-tipped rifles, behind a tiger, while decrying the effects of war.

Birds not of a feather still flock together

Birds not of a feather still flock together
Some of the Waterfowl at Prince's Island. If you notice the grass doesn't look 100% natural, I did some crude #2 touch ups of the image. Nothing special to the photo really, but I just liked how the two birds were palling around. I don't really know much about birds. I assume both are the same type of duck, but just different age. But don't really know.

PETA protesters "dressed" as seals and "played dead" along Stephen Avenue Mall in downtown Calgary. They're trying to make a link between the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver with Canada's seal hunt. Of course VANOC has nothing to do with the seal hunt.
