The Occupy Toronto Movement is not about left or right. It is about the unscrupulous behaviours that are currently taking place in our Canadian Government system, and in the ranks of financial bureaucracy. The more you learn about it, the more effective you become in our fight against Government corruptions. Forget what you’ve been told, and open your eyes, ears, and open your minds, 99%. Educate yourself on the issues, educate yourself on what our rights are as a society. If you take nothing but awareness from this movement, you’ve already became involved in the change. 

It’s your Country. It’s your rights. It’s our time.

Hey, I have a question - why are we occupying Toronto on a Saturday? There's no trading on bay street and barely anyone in the exchange towers, to my understanding....wouldn't that make protesting on a Saturday somewhat pointless?

This is a really important question so we hope you don’t mind that we publish our response.

We have been receiving this question a lot, and we see the validity in it. However, the goals of OccupyTO and OccupyWallSt. involve the ideas and suggestions of all of those who occupy the 99% of Canada and The World. The goal is to have not multiple causes, multiple organizations, but one organization, one cause, built upon the ideas and suggestions of everyone. That unified movement can only be accomplished through the democratic process of our Assemblies.

However, because of the recent concern about our schedule, we will be opening the discussion to the idea of civil action on the 15th, at least to make our presence known. If the consensus of the General Assembly at the end of the day is to march - legal, media, and logistics will adjust our strategies accordingly. If you want to speak about this at the General Assembly please come out to Berczy Park tonight at 6PM!

Thank you for your inquiry, I hope this answers everything.
