Cory Morgan

Cory Morgan (born 1971 in Red Deer, Alberta) is a blogger in Alberta, Canada. He was one of the founders of the Alberta Independence Party in 2000. In 2001, he ran as a independent candidate in the riding of Banff-Cochrane.[1] Following the dissolution of the AIP at the end of 2000, Morgan joined the Separation Party of Alberta. He was the SPA's candidate in Highwood in the provincial election of 2004.

He later joined the Alberta Alliance in 2006. He was a candidate for the Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta, in the constituency of Calgary Mountain View in the Alberta general election of 2008, finishing in third-place with 887 votes.

On November 6, 2011, Morgan drove his pickup truck into the Occupy Calgary camp at Olympic Plaza park. Morgan refused to leave his truck until police removed him, was fined $200 and towed.[2] His purpose was part of a counter-protest against Occupy Calgary and a bid to highlight what he felt was unequal enforcement of city bylaws with respect to the Occupy camp and the public at large.[3]
