Occupy Toronto - October 15, 2011

The world-wide occupations seek to draw attention to the corporate control of our economy, and the resulting wealth inequalities, austerity measures, environmental harms, loss of democratic rights, and exclusion of popular voices.
It began with Occupy Wall Street, inspired by the Arab Spring approach of occupying a public space. The Occupy movement has consistently emphasized non-violence, consensus decision-making, and the broadest inclusion of people. It says the one thing we all have in common is that, ‘We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%’.
We cannot possibly claim to live in a democratic society when corporations have so much control over our government. 
I would encourage everyone to check out www.theyrule.net .  It is a great resource for discovering how many corporate boards our politians sit on and making the connections to where their priorities lie.  The following link is the corporate connections among the bush administration...do you really think fair governance was their priority???

Join us at York and King on October 15 to protest this injustice.

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
