The agricultural demands are nearing Khmer Rouge levels of uninformed fanaticism.

Step 1: Stop domestic oil and gas exploration (Oil Sands, anything with hydraulic stimulation and offshore drilling - this is pretty much the entire industry). Shut down forestry and nuclear industries. Stop export of same.
Step 2: Ban GMO crops, fish farming, feed lots, factory farming (for those keeping track, this accounts for the vast majority of the Canadian agricultural output). Ban fertilizers and pesticides.
Step 3: Make it easier to farm hemp
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Nirvana

With next to no industrial production, no agricultural production and maybe a third of Canadians out of work right away, I'm not sure there'd be much left to raise the minimum wage, EI and disability payments up to what they deem a living wage.

For those that missed it the first time: Where is it that #occupycanada has adopted these as their demands? Where is this aforementioned occupycanada wiki?

So what? So you'd prefer that the police officer gets away with it? Because you know damn well that if people didn't release information about him, his own police force would have done nothing. The fact that the information was released forced his departments hand to thoroughly investigate the incident.

If you're going to make a boneheaded choice in public that harms another individual, possibly critically, then you deserve whatever information about yourself and your family comes out in public. You're supposed to be protecting the people, not harassing them when they're protesting peacefully.

First troll calling. Thanks wookie! Good to know you have to resort to name calling when someone expresses a different point than yours and defends it instead of rolling over to the more popular view of the critics in this thread.

It is a strange leap in logic to suggest that it is deserved for the policeman's family to get caught up in all of this.

More garbage. You can pressure a police force to take action against its members without going to the extreme of releasing the personal information of the officer and his family.

It's good to see that you support scumbag actions as long as they're perpetrated by your side.

Conversely, it's a strange leap of logic to throw a flash bang into a small group of people trying to help someone who's hurt.

You do make a valid point. Hadn't thought of it in that light.

I completely 100% agree with that. But that has nothing whatsoever to do with that dbag cop's family. There is no way in this world that the cop's family should suffer or in some way be held accountable for the actions of the cop.

Defending your position with logical posts is one thing, making completely non-sensical and garbage posts is.... trolling... thus, you are a troll.... make sense?

Edit: Correction, you are ACTING like a troll.

Duly noted. Having an opinion different than yours = nonsensical. Thanks!

Nope. Nonsensical posts makes it nonsensical. You're welcome.

And on Friday, she said, a crazed squatter burst into the shop and demanded that workers fill a 10-gallon container of water.
When they refused, “he banged it on the ground and started yelling” and threatened the staff, she said.
“He said he was entitled to have it for free.”
Tzortzatos said the unsafe conditions begin at around 5 p.m. every day, when “they come from the park drunk, under the influence of something.
“They use one of our doorways as a bathroom, and we have to scrub it down every morning.
“I’ve had people come in here and yell, ‘Boycott! Boycott!’

Really winning those hearts and minds. I'd never expected to say this, but I'm a-okay with some police brutality on these fools. They're using some ill defined, if defined at all, agenda as a shield to act like petty criminals and thugs.

I would have given them the free water from the toilet, and I'm not talking about the back tank either.

It would have been sanitized with a liberal dose of saliva and other bodily fluids.

You have a very strange leap of logic going here, we agree that the cop was a ###### or stupid, or criminal, I haven't made up my mind on that yet. But then you decide that his family should be involved too.

It sounds so Soviet Russia where they would sentence a guy for crimes against the State and either exile his family to the Gulag in Siberia, or just be merciful and shoot the woman and children outright.

But then again looking at the demands of the Occupyer's there is a certain hard core marxist feel to the whole thing so your post suddenly makes sense comrade.

Clearly you missed this post I made in response to valo403:

Coffee cart owner Linda Jenson and hot dog cart operators Letty and Pete Soto said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.

And according to one city councilman, bodily fluids were used in the attacks.
“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio.


...


In addition to the attacks, the vendors also said they recently received death threats.

Most Canadians support Occupy Movement

I think that these protesters do have a legitimate point, but the fact that they can't seem to keep control of themselves (see drug overdoses in Vancouver and stories of attacks above) really makes me think less of the protesters.

Me too; I like the movement and where it could potentially go (mostly in the US though, I haven't ever seen a collective uprising about income inequality like this before), but I don't support alot of the actual 'protestors' themselves, if that makes any sense.
