They finally got the boot....long after Montreal or Vancouver did what was needed...they finally got the boot.....they collectively packed up all their stuff last night and got out of dodge before the shit hit the fan and this is what they had to say about it.

After vowing to stay and face arrest, the few remaining Occupy Calgary protesters dismantled their camp and vacated Olympic Plaza early Friday morning.

The activists emailed news media on Thursday afternoon announcing they planned to stay in the park in defiance of a court-ordered deadline to leave by 2 p.m. on Friday.

But instead the protesters packed up their belongings overnight, leaving only a display of about 30 white placards with messages on each.

“This is no longer a conversation,” reads one.

The protesters also left behind a large monument in the middle of their former encampment. A cluster of twisting metal prongs pointing upward, it reads: “The People Hold the Power.”

About seven protesters returned to the park at 9 a.m. for a scheduled press conference. They distributed a printed statement but refused further comment.

"As a community, we are united by the internalization of the struggles of all people, from the indignity of the debt-bondage of our neighbours and nations to the ongoing, slow-motion genocides of the indigenous people of our world," the statement read.

The protesters also requested that the monument not be removed from the park. "Embodied within this monument are the convictions and determination of all those who continue to seek ... humanity's noble course," they said in the written release.

What total utter crapulence...these people had no central idea and no overall goal....it was a bunch on left wing granola wannabe hippy types that were protesting for the sake of protesting....and it is all empowered by the crapulence of facebook and the like...meanwhile they want the "statue" they installed kept in Olympic Plaza...yeah right....the general public wants to be reminded 5/10/20 years down the road that a bunch of slackers did $50,000 in damage to a public park and that taxpayers paid to clean it up........if the mayor had a pair not a single tent would have gone up.
