Some people call it the the opposite of the “Tea Party”.

Some people call them a bunch of smelly hippies.

Some people say all Libertarian (extremist) movements are all the same.

And some people think that protests of any kind don’t really do anything because everyone causes the most social effect by voting with their feet and wallets.

But

if nobody noticed anything wrong

and nobody tried to make some noise about it

then everyone would be living in a shell of a civilization.

This is day 8 of the Occupy Winnipeg camp out.

They set up last Saturday Oct 15 2011 at Memorial Park near the Manitoba Legislature.

Last night it thundered and poured, but they were all still there in the morning.

I also took some nice metaphorical city landscape shots.

If you are in the right mood, anything can be poetic.

Here are some pictures of the Occupy Camp one month later after it snowed: https://leifnorman.net/occupy-winnipeg-in-the-snow-and-the-manitoba-legislature-nov-27-2011/
