You might get your wish. It won't be as good as the Stanley Cup riot, but then people care about the Stanley Cup.

I feel I should be sympathetic to the plight of the Occupy protesters on the one hand, but on the other I agree with Oink that (in Canada at least) it's completely without focus. The demands are basically pointless. "the dismantling of western economic practices (aka capitalism)" as someone said this morning on CBC. Crap. The last I heard Al Qaeda were making similar demands about western values. How much progress have they made, and they're using bombs not tents.

Meanwhile, the Toronto posse are so pathetic they can't even be bothered to protest on Bay St, occupying the more comfortable St James's park instead. A bigger bunch of Starbucks drinking knit your own muesli crowd you'll struggle to find anywhere else...

I drove past the Vancouver scrubbers today. Sitting at the lights next to them i noticed somebody had obviously done a food run to McDonalds

Made me smile.

Local reporting on the Occupy St John's protest (a modest affair compared to elsewhere) noted that the tent dwellers are being funded, at least in terms of food, by the Fish, Food & Allied Workers Union & other labour movements. The city of St. John's has also provided a bog. Which is nice.

We're now living in a tent. I wonder if we could call it a protest and attract sponsorship from Fuller Smith and Turner, The Independent Cider Makers Association and/or The Canadian Union of Korma Makers.

With 11/11/11 fast approaching

Don't forget Sleeman too in your neck of the woods

Sleeman? I can't take the car to the protest, nevermind wash it.

My OH step brother has been working at Occupy Victoria in the kitchen that they've got set up there, he said that the whole occupy thing has become a joke that not even the protesters believe in. He was saying how the camp had become a small parody of the real world, in that most there were unemployed, drug users, homeless, and a small portion of them are employed and also doing all the work on the camp. They've also built some sort of wall around the kitchen and food tents because others kept stealing from there. My OH made the point that that is also similar to the real world, where the 1% have protected the wealth in the camp, and that maybe that's the way the world has to work for society to function. I think he's given up now! lol

Fire hoses and bulldozers....end of!

So how does that make it any better than place like Syria then if you go down that route?
