It’s is time to stop catering to the Occupy Victoria protesters.

Stating your case is one thing, but getting in the way of the public enjoyment of an outdoor rink does nothing but interfere with ordinary citizens having fun around the holidays.

I don’t understand how not allowing my family and me to go skating and drink hot chocolate helps change global economic policy.

Why can’t they just move to another spot? I can only speak on my behalf, but by being a nuisance you only harm your cause, not promote it.

Hopefully this will get resolved in time for the rink to be built and both sides will put aside their agendas and allow those of us who are not involved to have a little fun.
