The demands on the #occupycanada wiki are horrible. They're self contradictory and immature. I personally support the concept of trying to recreate a middle class out of our economic structure, but not at the cost of tearing the whole thing down.
I think things like this only weaken the supporters of that basic cause, because there are some good concepts in there. But why go so far as to nationalize the banks? Or is that fails to legislate a maximum interest rate. Interest rates equate risk. Risk can be decreased by proving over your history that you are 'good for it', ie: paying back your loans.
Credit cards are risky situations and it's easy to default on them, lines of credit are less risky and are given to decent costumers and mortgages are even less risky as ther is at least an asset to back them up. I just don't understand what these kids are asking for sometimes.
Even though I support the occupy where-ever movement, I don't support idiots. And the people who thought up the #occupycanada demands are clearly delusional.
