I don't see it either, we do see some spending decisions especially around the Stimulus programs that benefited big business, but government has to fine line balance things, merely being an advocate for the poor and downtrodden for example like the NDP wants to be would lead to economic devestation.

Plus more on the whole fundraising movement, didn't the Occupy WS movement fundraise over half a million dollars in a few short weeks?

Maybe the next step for the occupy movement is to run independant candidates in the next federal or provincial elections as a protest vote, but they would then have to come up with platform.
