Aryan Guard protest against Israel

January 10, 2009August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

The neo-Nazi Aryan Guard are the people holding the defaced Israeli flag. Apparently, their hatred of Israel and jews seemed to temporarily supersede their hatred of other groups, who they marched along side of.

This is one of the pictures I took at a protest of Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, January 10, 2009. It was held in downtown Calgary, starting at City Hall, and, after a march, ending at the Harry Hays Building. It was one of several held across Canada by the Canadian Peace Alliance and other organizations on the same day.

This is one of the pictures I took of a protest against Israel's ongoing actions in the Gaza Strip. It was organized by Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) and the Palestinian Canadian Student Society (PCSS). Protesters gathered along Macleod Trail by Olympic Plaza, opposite City Hall.

This is one of the pictures I took of the 2008 Dead Mile. Zombies gathered at Olympic Plaza and then walked through the downtown and beltline area. They finished at Shaw Millennium Park

Got green?

I'm not into cars, but the paint job seemed to call out for a photo. The colour fits its location, since this is Lake Newell Green SE.

I happened by this scene by North Hill Centre on 14 Avenue NW. Off camera there's more police presence, suspects being detained, and also mall security nearby.

Casar Jacobson: Rising Beauty

July 20, 2008April 30, 2021 by Robert Thivierge

This has been one of my favorite photos for a while. Since I took it in 2008, Casar Jacobson has had a lot more success in beauty pageants, modeling, and elsewhere since then.

This is one of the many photos I took at the 2008 Calgary Stampede Parade. Though not seen here, she is holding the Canadian flag, as one of two flag holders, leading the Canadian "Regimental Pipes & Drums" group.

Evil swarm in Christian play

July 1, 2008August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

I visited Prince's Island to see the Canada Day 2008 celebration. Just off a bridge from the island, I saw this group performing a play. I beleive this is a Christian evangelical group. My guess of what was supposed to be happening is the three girls in black had been acting as "sin" or "temptresses" to the guy they're surrounding.

Even though this is way overexposed (all white arms), this was maybe my fave of the group.

Mocking the saviour

July 1, 2008August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

I happened to be looking through some pics from a Christian-themed silent street play on Canada Day and thought this one was worth adding to the existing set. Picture quality sucks because of the distraction of passerbys, and focus isn't great, but it fills a gap in the story line of the play. My Canada Day set is ordered by time taken, if you're interested in seeing them in chronological order. Sometimes I like to look back at older pics and figure out what was happening.

I visited Prince's Island to see the Canada Day 2008 celebration. Just off a bridge from the island, I saw this group performing a play. I beleive this is a Christian evangelical group. The girl in the foreground is one of three dressed in black, appeared to be playing some sort of "evil" figure bothering the poor guy on the ground.
