"Occupy Montreal",... are you in the dark? I was until earlier this week and I think it is truly important that we all as a City, Nation, Planet, get educated on this.
What started in New York city has now spread worldwide, including in our very own city, Montreal. Since Saturday October 15th, 2011 hundreds of protesters have been camped out in Victoria Square in downtown Montreal. Although it is illegal to camp in a public square, the police have no problem with them protesting, under the condition that it remains peaceful. So far there hasn't been any serious problems in Montreal and the latest is that these protesters are in it for the long haul!
Here is a You- tube clip for New York City, so you can better understand the issues and what people are fighting for.
Here is another video from our very own city, Montreal. I find it really amazing to see everyone come together like this!
There is no easy answer, but at least all these people coming together gives us hope that we all want something to change and hopefully we can make it happen!
We're the 99%, let's make a change. Please share this on your FB, Twitter or just by word of mouth!
Very informative videos. Thanks Katie!
