Picketing got me Somewhere

March is Anti-Fraud Month, so I went and parked my van downtown Edmonton at the corner of of 99th ave. and 107 street, Workers Compensation Board and towards the driveway of the Legislative Building.
I had mounted some large posters on it, they were written with markers and highlighters, parked there from 8:15 am - 2:30 pm, then went to visit a friend the hospital.
Here's what the posters said:
MARCH is fraud prevention Month, STOP the FRAUD WITHIN our GOVERNMENTS CONTROL
I.D. FRAUD or CORPORATE FRAUD! FRAUD IS FRAUD
INJURED WORKERS have the EVIDENCE; ORGANIZED CRIMINAL's?
ARM'S LENGTH of GOVERNMENT ( with a listing of wrong doings)
NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE; FEDERAL INTERVENTION NEEDED? (yes)
WCB is a FEDERAL ORGANIZATION that is IMMUNE to JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS
Along with some WCB comments like:
Weasels Creating Bankrolls
Waiving Claimants Benefits
Willfully Collaborating Betrayers
Wrongful Criminal Barbarians
Wicked Cruel Brutality
Whitewashing Corrupted Business
and my personal favorite: Wildcats Controlling Bureaucracy

Well needless to say I did get some attention, WCB employees taking pictures, looking and laughing, black limousines all full of suits on their way to lunch and back. While I stayed there trying to keep my posters from blowing away in the wind, what bale twine and magnets can achieve. Even had security come to check out me and my van, however I was no threat in any manner.Security came back an forth asking me questions, taking information and relaying it back to whom ever, even tried to convince me that someone will get in contact; in a few days type of routine, but I didn't budge.He later came back and informed that something will be done as I am in dire need of help, geeze, 7 months of no income what so ever, after all the rest of the bull?
Well when I got home that evening,I live outside the city, there is a message for me to contact WCB, well they told me that they will be sending me $614.00 per month, accept that or nothing, so I guess picketing did help to pay my mortgage, for this month.
