Cops Occupy Occupy Victoria
The cop had just rushed over to reprimand the owner of a dog whose leash slipped off what it was tied to. Don't we have Animal Control Officers for this? Why is VicPD harassing Occupy Victoria?
The VicPD were down at Occupy, stopping every skateboarder, leash-less dog, and helmet-less cyclist in the vicinity. While watching this, I noticed the police didn't stop one of the hundreds of cars passing by who were obviously exceeding the speed-limit. What other crimes remain unsolved? Hmmm...
The VicPD is the most costly police department in British Columbia
The VicPD's crime-solving rate is one of the worst in all of Canada
The VicPD's officer response times have consistently worsened
VicPD's Chief Jamie Graham has been found guilty of discreditable conduct, again
(There was more property damage in the 2011 pro-child rape riots at Penn State than all 100+ Occupy protests combined.)

Most Canadians support 'Occupy' protests, poll finds
"The Occupy Wall Street movement that has spread throughout the U.S. and Canada has the support of most of the Canadians who are aware of it, a new poll has found."
"The Nanos poll conducted for The Globe and Mail and La Presse finds that seven out of 10 Canadians have heard of the demonstrations."
Those unaware of the Occupy protests were found to be as equally clueless to those who object to the Occupy protests.

Occupy Victoria (The Peoples' Assembly of Victoria)
Inspired by the rapidly growing Occupy Together (occupytogether.org/) movement across the US and Canada that has sprung up in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street people’s assembly. Victoria is joining the October 15 movement for global change (15october.net/).
This is becoming more than a protest about the failure of global capitalism - rather, this a moment where people all around the world are coming together and beginning to globalize democracy.
This is our time to come together and create a genuine people’s assembly of Vancouver Island in the spirit of true participatory democracy. Direct democracy comes from the people living in the communities in which decisions are made. Real democracy means being mutually respectful of all the diverse voices that join the conversation. Radical democracy is 'from the grassroots' or from the ground up. It is non-violent, and committed to mutual aid and collective decision-making.
