Last Friday, May 29th, hundreds of people met at Calgary's City Hall, marched through downtown, and then congregated at Riley Park to protest all that is wrong with the Alberta UCP government. Apparently 20 other places in Alberta were doing the same thing on the same day.
Organized by Gil McGowan, leader of the Labour Union, there were representatives from several organizations and unions. Also there were Calgary Raging Grannies, a protest singer Blowing in the Wind, speakers representing Indigenous, Teachers, and Healthcare (PA equipment pedal powered). Then at 6:30 the largest Critical Mass movement I'd ever seen met in the Riley parking lot before cycling through downtown Calgary. After that point I tuckered out and walked home.
Here are some photos posted to my Fight Back Now! album on Flickr.
