Greenpeace protests atop Calgary Tower

A bit over the top. I can't recall Greenpeace advocating violence.




Greenpeace doesn't solve anything. They are like the marketing part of an organization--filled with people with great ideas to get people's attention, but don't really understand the product they're tasked with selling.

Still, they serve a purpose.

Suzuki's an eco-fascist, advocating the jailing of deniers.

The only purpose they're serving right now is exacerbating the divisions in the "debate." This is the third time they've engaged in highly risky acrobatic protests. Remember a thread a week or two ago about that jackass construction worker tossing a wrench on a Calgary construction site? What if these guys didn't get their rigging right? What if their equipment / selves fell onto the public below?

This isn't protest. This is sheer, unmitigated recklessness.

Separate oil and state ?

I thought Greenpeace was far left-wing, not libertarian.

Agreed 100%.




Again, I have to agree. Greenpeace, in the last 20 years or so, has done more to alienate the average person than convince them of their cause.

I suppose if one of these idiots had fallen off it would, of course, be all the city of Calgary's fault. Useless punk dickheads.

I could respect someone who got wasted and just thought it would be cool to climb up there for the hell of it.

In the words of one witness to this stunt, " They (protesters) arrived here in a big, rented van. I know that it doesn't run on potatoe peelings"!

Lots of solutions out there, but we don't want to use them because if means some minor inconvenience.
