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. 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. Morgan ran in the 2015 Canadian federal election as a Libertarian in Foothills , finishing in fifth-place with 424 votes. Following the 2019 Canadian federal election Morgan returned to his Western separatist roots, calling on his supporters to join him.
