Lineup at Peters’ Drive-In

February 11, 2012April 30, 2021 by Robert Thivierge

Nearing the end of my trip (to the nearby Fanning to visit a VIP), I had to stop here for the best fries in the city. On leaving I got this. By this time, the weather had improved quite a bit from earlier.

I took this on July 3, 2009, near the end of the Calgary Stampede Parade, as it finished up along 9 Avenue SE, near 4 Street.

Aryan Guard supporter questioned

On June 27, 2009 there was an anti racism rally and march, that went from Kensington Road to Riley Park in Calgary. Fortunately, the Aryan Guard didn't appear, and there were no confrontations (not counting some police/activist disagreements).

Armoured in Calgary

An armoured vehicle on Stephen Avenue Mall. I have no idea what this was for.

High in the sky

Actually, it wasn't really that high, just a few stories up, but it seems to look higher in this picture, at least to me. This was a Calgary Fire Department crew operating on Stephen Avenue Mall. I assume it was some sort of demonstration or training exercise, since I didn't see any fire, or dangling window washer.

Denise rides off with cops

August 23, 2008August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

Protester Denise Ogonoski can be seen in the back seat, being taken away by police. She was taken in because she had climbed up a light pole to put up a Tibetan flag outside the Chinese consulate. One thing that concerned me after this happened, was I overheard another protester asking where Denise was taken, and the police officer didn't seem to know or care to find out.
