Protest at Chinese Consulate
After leaving the Lilac Festival, I was walking downtown and happened upon a protest march by the Vietnamese Canadian community in Calgary, specifically against recent acts by China, but also there was an expression of opposition against the communist government of Vietnam, which is why you see the flag that was flown by South Vietnam. The protesters marched through the streets downtown (travelling several blocks) until they arrived at the Chinese Consulate. I'm not sure how many there were, but it was in the hundreds.

South Sudanese Supporting UN Help
On Wednesday, April 9, 2014 a group of people from the South Sudanese community rallied for peace in Sudan. They support Hilde Johnson as the head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan in its efforts to bring peace. This group is the polar opposite of the March 24, 2014 rally, which also took place outside City Hall. The earlier group demonized Johnson and the UN (showing what I considered a highly offensive caricature of her as seen here). Fortunately, both events were peaceful.

Seeing things from the other side
One of the protesters was arrested by police. The crowd followed them, until they got near the police station, and at a "sidewalk closed" sign (due to construction). People were told to stay back. I couldn't shoot the protesters from in front of them, but I noticed I got a shot of front of the protesters in the police officer's sunglasses, which I thought was neat.
