The article referenced states that the harvest was largely symbolic and made no real difference. So it is just another left-wing feel-good effort that leads to no actual progress, but makes the champagne socialists feel a bit better as they drive away in their BMWs.

I think your first comment is completely and utterly inappropriate (and suspect may be a violation of the forum posting rules). Where your evidence that HRM does this (let alone Calgary)? Frankly, that's not appropriate and what respect I had for your comments has been lost. You want to make sweeping statements, provide facts and evidence. Otherwise, do what most parents do: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Secondly when the article was published, that was the original function of the planters. But they have expanded - the number and length of the food area being harvested has expanded. So are you saying that helping those in the drop in centre be fed is a bad thing? Yet again, you lost all credibility...
