Pie

Calgary needs affordable housing. We have a huge homeless population that needs help.

These are inarguable facts; But it is idiots like Lily Phan (Facebook) that absolutely destroy the respectability of the fight for social equity in Calgary. She tried to throw a pie at Premier Ed Stelmach in an attempt to bring attention to the plight of Calgary's homeless (link). Unfortunately, all people heard on the news was her screaming and babbling as she was dragged away by the police.


There has to be a better way...

We need to protect the environment, but respectable and powerful people don't want to be associated with extreme groups like Green Peace.

Our aboriginal groups deserve respect, but blocking rail-lines does nothing but poison people and companies against them.

Our homeless population deserves help, dignity, and respect. They need a better representative than crazies like Lily Phan.
