Occupy Sudbury and Beyond (the occupy movement)- by Moses

Occupy ________. A novel idea, whether it's occupying Toronto, New York, Sudbury, Vancouver, , or Atlanta. Considering that roughly 60% of all Canadians amass 1.7% of Canada's total income. So what are we talking about here? Change? Is it achievable? Will public parks be public forums as they were during Woodstock?
A few years ago in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada we lost roughly 5,000 jobs @ $75,000 in the auto plants. The average household income was roughly $90,000/year. Today with these jobs gone we see the average household income in Oshawa below $40,000/year. How does a politician address his/her constituents within this Flint, Michigin type economic failure?
Last year, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista signed a multi-year contract for a fraction of what he could have earned playing for the New York Yankees or the Boston Red Sox. But let's be real. How many people would accept earning less than they think they're worth? Union talk states; You're worth what you get. In the case of Oshawa, Ontario, were the Union workers misguided in their strategy? Let's not place blame.
A billionaire that donates $1 million to charity once a year writes it off his/her taxes. Did anyone notice that taxes of the ultra-rich decreased, giving them more buying power, and those earning less than $15,000 lost 3% of their total income not just 3 months ago?
Instead of band-aid remedy, the Canadian economy (and the U.S for that matter) had better taker a look at our adolescence and how they perceive economic developments. They see the hypicrit oath and are being forced to choose between doing what they think is right, and choosing to undermine their values in selling out to work at a fraction what they think they're worth. Would you take a $10/hour, $12,000/year job because you had to? that's exactly what we're seeing in Oshawa, Ontario today. When will it be that a poet just writes.
In Sudbury, Ontario today we see roughly 500 homeless within a population of 155,000. These are the registered homeless, take another look and we see a vagabond population of over 1000. As Occupy Sudbury takes shape we see many more people pro-active towards these issues. Will this lead to more parks occupied over the course of the movement, that remains to be unseen.
The National Debt of Canada causes the taxpayer to pay off some of the annual interest of the National Debt. Ironically, the Federal Government has to take on loans from Foreign Banks to pay off the difference in interest on money originally lent to 3rd and 5th World Nations. This is essentially killing off any chance of there being a strong Pension Fund for Canadians to draw from both in the here and now, and in the future. It is also a concern among roughly 60% of all adults within Canada of how they will pay off their own debts; credit cards, mortgages, car payments, insurance payments, telecommunication services...
In many Scandanavian nations, the population earns a healthy minimum salary, scaled to the elite status for the fortunate. Considering that Canada has similarities economically to these nations, it leaves one to wonder if socialism will become a dirty word in Canada. If not, why haven't we seen each of the Canadian population see a piece of the pie? How can we create a demand for another revolutionary Woodstock? Through our constitutional freedom of assembly we may see a hundred people converge, in a town like Sudbury Ontario Canada. That figure may be 10,000 people in Toronto occupying today. But tomorrow that figure becomes 100,000. Let`s occupy and create more camps. Tell more people. If one person informs 'the movement' to seven people the figure follows this pattern. 7 X 1 =7, 7 X 7=49, 49 X 7 = 343 343 X 7=2401, 2401 X 7=........ essentially the numbers required to pro-create another Woodstock.
