I watched this via CTV live stream.
Everyone there made it into an absolute embarrassment for their own side.
It was highly entertaining.
I saw them gathering outside my building. They pretty much blocked the street when they marched. Main streets, too. Shamelessly.

The counter protest was, useless. Driving through the city, honking. What solutions were they offering? What was their platform? They didn't speak, just drove around honking. Useless.
I drove through the protest as it was ending too. The people were very courteous, crossing only on lights, and trying to be quick about it. Most took transit. The counter protest seemed to like blocking intersections and getting people pissed off.
Quite a difference in their methods. One was definitely more effective.
Saw one guy on the news, complaining that his oilfield company may have to close if things don't pick up. But the two growth industries in Alberta are decommissioning old wells, and renewable energy. Seems he'd rather be pissed off with children than retrain and re-tool to prevent a problem he sees coming.
What if there is no next Oil Boom left? What's he going to do then?
