It’s not an alarmist question as so-called “veterans of the G-20” are said to be joining up with others who will launch something called Occupy Toronto at the corner of Bay and King on Saturday October 15, 2011. The linked story from CTV raises the same concerns the public had with the G-20 bunch. In New York the “against Wall Street” protesters are leaderless and have no coherent explanation of what they want. So far, Occupy Toronto seems to be heading down the same vague road. This is the kind the kind of flypaper that attracts self-involved people looking for an opportunity to feel important. Frequently, if the question “what do you want?” were answered honestly it would be “to mix it up with the cops” or maybe “break some windows.” There will be a newly elected provincial government barely sworn into office when this happens. Will it be ready?
