THIS IS WHY WE FIGHT.............DEMANDS:

Start taking Global Warming more seriously. You compromise with big business and slow things down at every turn. You sell us Green Laundry Detergent in an attempt to placate our consciences, while you allow huge corporations to pollute with less regulation than ever before. You squash public transit systems and alternative energy sources, and then tell us all to go ride a bike. Stop blaming the masses and do your fucking jobs!
Regulate the electoral process. We will never get anywhere as a society while the people in charge are nothing but slaves to big business’ bottom line. How many of you politicians are in somebody’s pocket? Any politician in this practice is doing nothing less than their small part to destroy the planet. The fact that this is a perfectly legal practice is just another sign of how far the arm of profit over people reaches.
End the anti-union propaganda. If something which needs to fulfill a function gets broken, it needs to be fixed; NOT GONE. This age of average people being underpaid and having to live on borrowed money must come to an end. The inflation rate in Canada is approximately 3% every year; so if workers get a raise of any less than 3% annually, their wages are in reality going DOWN. Unions are being dismantled across the country; and we’re told in the media this is a good thing? Letting profit-hungry business do whatever they want is NEVER A GOOD THING. We need things like benefits, union rights, vacation time, paid family leave, and pensions to be a RIGHT; guaranteed under the law. Minimum wage should be a reflection of the minimum amount it takes for a person to live comfortably with the basic necessities of life, without having to rely on credit. Any less perpetrates this unfair trend of people living in debt while the CEOS come away with millions. We want only our fair share!!!
Make education a right. A person should not have to become $20,000 in debt just to get a job as a secretary. Our Educational Facilities are run as businesses! Education should be a RIGHT; NOT a privilege only for those with enough money. Once many of us get through school, we are indentured for LIFE. Amazing resources are going to waste as intelligent people are forced to take menial jobs because they couldn’t afford the schooling.
Stop the phony war on drugs!!! The Criminalization of substances does not get rid of the problem; it merely creates a dangerous underworld of gangs, murderers, and organized crime. If a person is addicted to a substance, jail time only makes them more damaged, more isolated, and more disgruntled. You cut funding for rehabs and detoxes, and then punish addicts who have no way out. This HAS to stop.
Stop the criminalization of poverty! Instead of dealing with the poverty problem by building more affordable housing, you give out tickets to homeless people sitting on the sidewalk! If you really want to help the poverty problem, end this vicious cycle of poor-to-jail-to-poorer, and create better, more EFFECTIVE social programs to help people. We need more subsidized housing, more rehabs and detoxes, and more free education.
No one is above the law. That’s what we’ve always been told growing up. Yet in the last decade, we’ve seen countless wealthy people getting away with well-known and MASSIVE crimes. If you want to show the people that you’re on their side, start by arresting George W. Bush. Start by prosecuting the large businesses and politicians who, despite the fact that their crimes are well known, have had to deal with NOTHING in the way of consequence.
Investigate the 9/11 attacks. We need an independent investigation to deal with all the inconsistencies in the official report. This is not some crazy conspiracy theory; the inconsistencies are MASSIVE and backed by scientists, experts, and Ground Zero firefighters. DO something about it!
Open up the poles to new people! Our politics are dominated by all older white males from the same damn backgrounds. It doesn't matter who we choose if they're all paid off before they can get in the running. No wonder less and less people are voting!!! We need more diversity, more honesty, and more WOMEN in politics. The idea that inequal treatment for women is a thing of the past is a MYTH. Women are the exception in politics; not the rule. In addition, Obama was nothing more than a token black man put in place to placate a population about to revolt; his administration is the most Wall-Street dominated than any President in history. He was a lie, and we are ANGRY about this deception. We want real heroes!!!
Regulate the media. Our media is a sad joke; reporting only what their wealthy owners want them to report. It is unfair to women, poor people, and anybody who tries to take a stand. The media affects our view of the world around us; and helps young people to find an identity. To brush it off as if it doesn't affect us is a tragic mistake.
These demands need to be taken seriously. The time for action is NOW

How about you get your funding from your own pockets? How about you pay for a license to use the park first, a license to hold a rally, they pay for your own food, clothing etc.
You are not a legitimate organization, nor a charity, even if you are claiming to be charity cases.

And if you dont have the money to support your own cause, then get a job. McDonalds on Rideau is always hiring, all shifts, offers higher than minimum wage salary, full benefits, free meals. You could afford to then buy your own supplies.

Or...sell that expensive laptop and smart phone you use to surf all day, and invest it into the camp.

jessica complains: "where the fuck do you expect the food/funding to come from we cant charge taxes"

You nailed it! - the answer to your lack of receiving "money-for-nothing"!

Start charging the City of Ottawa Big Money for occupying the park for us, for keeping it safe and free of lazy bums.

Thanks, 00 gang, you're our heroes!

I support occupy, yet i have a job (fortunately), so i support the campers in the ways I can. They will help me, and I will help them.
