Power to the people!I wonder why poltical group will be first to try to adopt this anger into their campaigns for 2012

I am blown away that this thing has spread from NY and now has become viral and has spread to so many other countries too!
Love their spirit. Keep up the good fight!
I work in downtown Toronto near Eaton Centre and i saw the protest the other day. It got so loud that our office had ot stop working for 5 mins to look out the windows.
Until we can ban OTC derrivative trading out financial sector, and our economy will never be safe.
Although Canada doesn’t suffer as badly in inequality and corporate greed as the US i can understand the anger and the protests here too.
And here i was thinking of just taking a flight out to New York to join in the giant spectacle of Occupy Wall Street. Glad to see it is now becoming home grown too.
I wish i could join. Not much happening in my city 🙁
I joined the Occupy Canada protests this weekend. It started off small but is really becoming a giant movement.
This is so going to explode into something very big. I can feel it. These protests are going bigger every day.
Power to the people! If only Public Enemy were still making music today.
Dont these people work? This is why our economy is in such bad shape.
Wow this thing doesnt die! First Wall Street nad now this.
Good for them! There are protests starting to be commonplace in my city too!
