I think YouTube is censoring the comments that get posted here - my guess is to discredit the movement. I see a disclaimer "comment pending approval" usually comments are posted immediately but I still don't see my initial reply.
I am the 99% and I have nothing to complain about. Canada is awesome and full of opportunity. If you don't like the banks don't give them your money! Average income pays what 10K a year in taxes? Isn't that pretty reasonable for the amount of services and infrastructure that's provided? Be happy with the luxurious lifestyle this country provides you and quit whining. Look around the World where would you rather be?
@SuperGil420 No climate change? Wasn't CIBC (a Canadian bank) involved in the bad financial transactions that crashed the global economy? No Canadian company (SNC-Lavalin) building prisons in Libya? Everything is fine rights? Perhaps you might want to look around and do some research? Fortunately, thousands of Canadians and people all around the world disagree with the "I'm alright Jack so who cares" approach to politics and social responsibility. With all due respect of course.
@SuperGil420 I tried to click on your channel. YouTube says it is "unavailable". Are you another Conservative troll, paid for with those taxes you mentioned? Who are you? Do you even exist? Or are you just on the Tory payroll spreading antagonism and hate on the Internet?
@SuperGil420 I'm glad you're living well. If you consider your lifestyle 'luxurious' then that's even better for you. I'm from Toronto myself and have no plans on moving. This is a little beside the point however. This system has failed so many for so long. Check out these documentaries: A century of self, Zeitgeist moving forward. When you start to empathize a little more with what people are going through...When you're a little more informed...Then you'll be Super for real ! ;-)
Was it Thomas Jefferson who said the price of freedom is eternal vigilance -- and yes. TVACdotCA, those trolls are scattered throughout the youtube pages. Truth hurts.
PLEASE READ THIS!!! all of you who are supporting the revolution keep fighting!!! but be warned the devil knows many tricks. dont let the media decieve you! BELIEVE ME everything you see in politics is an ACT!!! literally. dont be decieved they control who gets placed in the white house! being "president" is nothing more than a shield they use to hide the real enemy
the super rich have always controlled the resources, they always will. and the politicians are on the take. ten thousand people at a rally in toronto won't change shit. this so called protest will end in 2 weeks, at least in canada.
@lobelia2 I went to look at your channel but YouTube says it is "not available" like other conservative trolls and operatives. Your pessimism is meant to deflate morale in the spirit of ruining movements. That won't work with a global movement and an economic crisis as severe as this...
@lobelia2 no it wont. get out there and protest. you are (i'm guessing) part of the 99% as well. everyone knows its much worse in America but even here I think the banks can pay a few more tax dollars. Plus I'm really disturbed about everything Mr Harper has done to our home and native land.
yo i personally went to this. myself this seems all staged. 70% of people there werent even awake and didn't know why they were there other then "oh its a protest im going!", seems like problem reaction solution, they created the problem, their controlling the reaction (OWS, "oh look obama supports it now") so when time for the solution comes, they will once again offer the solution (end the fed....for a global currency and cashless society)(ending the fed is nothing its what they want)
It's rather sad that it took stealing people's money to get people protesting, yet stealing their liberties wasn't protest-worthy. I didn't see one sign demanding liberty.
For all of my friends of Occupy Bay Street! We at Occupy Wall Street are proud and grateful for your courage and resolve. Together we will win and we will inspire change! You've done a magnificent job with your peaceful protest. God bless you and may peace be with you always!
We gotta stop bombing countries to save children and families. Every NDP and PC voted to backed fundamentalist rebels in Libya and now 10 million of our tax dollars are being given to them for weapons we encouraged them to use.
@thefreedomlass yes you will, the government will always hold more power over all of us, its too late for a movement now we let them take all power from us a long time ago theres no fighting for it now we let this happen to ourselves
i love this expression of the system.. if you dont want greedy bastards at the bank then stop using the banks.. if you dotn want greedy useless officials parasiting from you then dont pay taxes. the answers are always very very simple.
@dew02005 Hahaha.. I couldn't read this comment without giving you the honour of telling you how simply stupid your simple mind is if you think things are that simple. Enjoy.
its amazing how they make so much money off us poor people when they make big profits and they dont care the rich pay nothing why because poor people make them richer
As for the name they should stick with WE ARE THE PEOPLE, no labels, no gimick name. To me the name 99%ters puts it in the catagory of the tea party, it belittles the movement and puts it in a box with a label.
I love the movement I hate the name 99%ters.I don't think there should be a name, and I'm not even sure there should be one goal...The fact is there are many people who are unhappy with a lot of things, and this is their platform for expressing those feelings. where else would they get that chance.
@analmongus The symbolism of the Palestinian Flag is that Canada is, arguably, the biggest supporter of the illegal Zionist occupation of the Palestinian Territories, so much so that organizations such as the Jewish Defence League are labelled as a terrorist organization by the FBI, but operate unscrutinized in Canada as registered charities. Moreover, criticizing Israel will soon become a hate crime, according to Queen's Park & Parliament Hill, which is an unconstitutional, and stupid, bill.
@classubasu My hope is that the internet will destroy Zionism and it's disgusting lobby groups. Then perhaps Israel can function like the normal democracy it's purported to be as opposed to the rabid-dog state it is today.
Bottom line is that everyone and very business has to pay for their fair share of taxes for society to work. Everyone should have to a " Minimum tax" of 10% on gross income before deductions and that includes millionaires and billionaires. That would eliminate a lot of the issue of inequity. Also, CEOS should not get stock options as a bonus and they should have to earn their bonus like everyone else who earns a bonus based on a mix of personal performance and company performance.
@TheSupermikus you know how stupid you sound? who will pay that tax? you think they wont put their prices of the goods you greedy people want to cover it? you are stupid and you dont understand even the basics of the workings of this game we are all in.
@Mystic1point618 but canada is a socialist economy, we have no corporations, the top companies are the 5 banks controlled by the government and finally manulife who are the real crooks if anything march against government waste of taxpayer money into projects we dont need so people can get hook ups for contracts by friends and family, HAZEL MCALLION ring a bell? this country is a pathetic wannabe of the usa
notice how this is actually peacfull no cops
