  1. Meanwhile, there are drilling rigs sitting idle, with jobs to go to, but no body to operate them. This humanoid garbage could never work a platform job anyway, but there is no end of work. Time for our politicians to check their nut sacks, if upon finding a pair, phone the water cannon people and disperse this pollution. The solution to pollution is dilution, try it, this is the end result of following the “politically correct doctrine” for a vote, when you sell your soul for a vote, you might not get that vote.

  2. The revised caption is bang on and so is bartinsky. Generally, most of the ‘occupiers’ are loosers or political useful idiots.
    We met an approximately 40 year old recent Ukrainian immigrant in Saskatoon yesterday. She is a cheerful person and happy to be here and is working at a job usually filled by part time youth. There are truck driver wanted signs all over in the industrial area.

  3. This “Mic Check” nonsense is simply a well know brain washing technique. It is borg-like and if anyone were to use it in another setting like in a working environment or in a school, you would immediately recognize it.
    The same kind of mindless twaddle was seen in JonesTown and other cults. These people are quite simply insane.

  4. Frankly I’m gobsmacked at the attitudes of the young people at these occupy dog and ponies – where did all this aggressive, unreasoning utopian Marxist dialogue come from? I mean they seem totally programmed like commie Borg. If this is the public schools, let’s seriously think about shutting them down and going to home schooling. These kids are literally driven insane by irrational political indoctrinating.

  5. There was a huge, cold rain storm in Toronto overnight. I wonder how the revolutionaries held up and how many are still there?

  6. good grief, doesn’t anyone pay attention to the fact there are probably fewer that 10,000 of these locos. A protest against boiled carrots could draw more and yet they’re getting news coverage like they just discovered chocolate.
    Now what is significant is that so many big name Democrats support this fringe of a fringe. I wonder if any voters will notice?

  7. The trouble with clearing them out with water cannon or just driving them out would probably be exactly what they want. Then the violence would begin and “police brutality” “just like the G20” would be raised. Let them wallow in their own filth for as long as it takes for the cold weather to settle in and they’ll all run home to mommy. As far as the chanting goes, mindlessness is the perfect description. Ezra’s video is fantastic as they chant right along with him. Priceless. Such a waste of energy that could be put to productive use.

  8. You guys do realize these imbeciles are paid political agitators, right? Their sole purpose is to elicit a violent response from the authorities, so they can have a bloody shirt to wave.
    I think letting them steep in their own excrement in that park is an -excellent- policy, myself.
    Rick, anybody who was out in that storm last night without class A tents and rain gear is in hospital with exposure today. They went home. For sure.

  9. Rick, the violence will begin in any event. That is what the left always does….when it starts to disappear off the front pages of the fawning press, it resorts to violence. That ALWAYS happens.

  10. This ‘chanting’ is a way of AMPLIFYING the speaker’s voice WITHOUT using an electronic amplifier. In some cities, there are bylaws that forbid the use of megaphones and electronic means of amplifying one’s voice. So, the People’s microphone is used. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peoples_Microphone_Occupy_Wall_Street_2011_Shankbone.ogv
    Now its yet to be determined if WHAT is being ‘people’s amplified’ is worth listening to.

  11. Yes if the media were to just ignore them they probably would go away quicker but the media attention shouldn’t surprise us.
    With the invention of the 24hr news channel they live for this kind of continuing story to fill the hours of airtime.
    The left wing media salivate over stories like this since they can be used to make the Conservative government look bad.
    For Sun Media their commentators are just having too much fun poking fun at and being sarcastic toward the protesters to ignore them.
    I agree with the one comment that all we need to do is wait for winter to hit which will solve the problem, at least in Canada.

  12. Ever notice how they ALWAYS infer or say out right that they are the majority? Always a lie too.

  13. Screw them. I am the 99%. I work. I pay taxes. I paid back my student loans. I expect very little out of government. When I was going to get downsized ten years ago I started my own company. I employ people.
    I am the 99%. This crew are the small, loud minority of idiots who have an entitlement syndrome. I’m not them.
    Among the many things that are remarkably annoying about this whole thing, is the complete misunderstanding about wealth. It isn’t a zero sum game. Because a banker makes (takes, steals, whatever) $1M a year doesn’t affect my income, or my worth. That is determined by what I do, how hard I work, how successful I am. It’s on me. And if that banker or lawyer makes tens times as much as he does, or ten times less, it will not affect either my earning power, my net worth, or, more importantly, my self worth. Frankly, I don’t give a rats ass how much the top 100 earners are making. I know what I earn, and I am OK with it. If I want more I’ll work harder or get luckier.
    Screw all these people, I’ve had enough of them to last a lifetime.

  14. Radicalised youth is what countries get when they have no alternative, like compulsory national sevice.

  15. Most people these days are easily bored.
    Absent some sort of catalyzing event(like the bloody shirt arrests that the Phantom mentions), regular people aren’t going to want to hear, watch, or pay attention to these Pee Party Occupiers any longer.
    The politicians who run most of the cities that have these Pee Partiers agitating in them have been wise to basically do nothing.

  16. The CBC is doing their very best to agitate more loons into this OWS/ OBS idiocy.
    As an experiment I watched an hour of CBC last night, they are simply gleeful with this anarchist idiocy reporting with lots of close up shots (no panning of the camera back to see the actual pathetic gatherings), and even a few flash funky shots like an MTV documentary to make it look like some sort of cool rock festival.
    Of course there was lots of obligatory Harper bashing, and the usual Liberal/ NDP trolls getting the spotlight without any conservative counterbalance.
    We pay over a billion dollars a year for this leftist propaganda crap, what do these non capitalist CBC state employees make anyway? Do the OWS /OBS people agree that they are fairly paid?

  17. They are the 99% of the marxists in our country.
    People wonder how these young students seem so stupid. The education system is to blame, just check out any social studies curriculum and you will find that socialism is highly praised while greedy capitalism (liberty) is derided.
    We, the citizens of Canada however, are to blame for allowing the education system to become so toxic.
    Now you might think our education system should be embarrased by the ignorance of their charges. You will be disappointed. This is an example of the system’s push of “critical thinking”, which is the Orwellian ability to discard reality in favour of PC pronouncements.
    I would love to see the protestors state where they went to school so that we can mercilessly mock those institutions of lower learning.

  18. Markon >
    To the Liberal mind that is simply lowering the standards so others “less fortunate” can compete, using the term “compete” very loosely.
    Meanwhile our societies have reversed course towards the Stone Age. Well, to an Africanized third world status in any event.

  19. “We pay over a billion dollars a year for this leftist propaganda crap, what do these non capitalist CBC state employees make anyway? Do the OWS /OBS people agree that they are fairly paid?”
    Until we have true Conservatism (Not the current Red Harper Tories) in Canada, don’t hold your breath about the CBC dissapearing anytime soon…See, they are too big a Government apparatus to dismantle anymore, compared to say, the long gun registry and look how long and how much effort it took to scrap it…Is it even scrapped yet? Or is it being slowly phased out?.
    The CBC would be a vote killer to scrap as anybody would be accused of creating “unemployment” if they did.
    The best we can expect is a slow chocking of funds until it dissapears or it privatizes itself.
    Speaking of the hippies, have you noticed, as Ezra points out, how stupid and ignorant these clowns are…Check out old footage from hippies of the 60’s and their concerns and witness how dumb this new generation is.
    At least the old ones could construct a sentence and respond to questions without yelling obscenities and pure nonsense.

  20. I’m assuming the majority of these clowns that are settled in their tents are collecting some form of government assistance. Like employment insurance?? Unless pogey’s changed in the 35 years that I used it they have to be looking for work and prove that they are. No? Then cut them off! Maybe a few pictures sent to E.I. would hurry the process. Give CBC a new angle to report on the “victims”.

  21. When the snow flies they will be the first ones knocking on the shelter doors…
    Let them be embraced by the loving arms of “Mother Nature”, it has a habit of disabusing you of political fantasies.

  22. They are a very small minority attempting to claim that they represent the largest majority. The obvious disinterest of the majority in their agenda is proof that they are, and will remain on the margin of society.

  23. The Occupy Wall Street protests are designed to facilitate the “redistribution” of wealth. However this wealth will not go to the intended recipients but to the State, which “owes” the bankers trillions.””

  24. Terry Tory says “Speaking of the hippies, have you noticed, as Ezra points out, how stupid and ignorant these clowns are…Check out old footage from hippies of the 60’s and their concerns and witness how dumb this new generation is.

    Well, I would put that down to the pot being a hell of a lot stronger than it was in the 60’s.

  25. If the rich paid more taxes, there would be enough money to send these occupy people on special field trips to study global warming among the polar bears.
    Rich folks, the case has been made. Pay your taxes.

  26. Set you free says “Living proof that a university degree cannot impart wisdom.”
    “Knowledge” and “wisdom” are not the same thing. Knowledge is “knowing” it is a one-way street. Wisdom is looking both ways anyway.

  27. Correct. Wisdom is the ability to use all available knowledge to create the most optimum outcome.

    I with you.
    How hard I work, how successful I am is determined by me. If I want more I’ll work harder.

    All about choices, attitude and tenacity.
    I tried having a discussion with a guy at work about the OWS people.
    We had very different opinions about the situation.
    He started projecting what he thought I might feel like doing to the protestors to get rid of them.
    (blow their heads off and such)
    Typical liberal behaviour!
    He walked away and then it dawned on me that this is a 47 year old man who ACTUALLY DOES LIVE in his parent’s basement. Classic!

  29. “this is a 47 year old man who ACTUALLY DOES LIVE in his parent’s basement. Classic!”
    at age 22 I was a slum(land)lord:-)))))
    on another note, I need my septic system pumped, and wonder if for a couple of hundred extra I could have the contents delivered to a place that I designate:-))))

  30. What interests me the most is who is behind this whole OWS movement? It’s clear that the vast majority of people attending these events couldn’t organize getting people out of an empty room with the exit door wide open. With externally programmable androids being in short supply, someone has utilized this heretofore unknown under-stratum of society to simply provide warm bodies to take up space in cities. Get a strong flash to some of Neal Stephenson’s social groupings from The Diamond Age and he’d probably call them the echolaliacs. OTOH, they could be the burned out brains that Philip K. Dick described as the end result of overindulgance in “Substance D” in A Scanner Darkly. That I’m only able to find sufficiently weird examples in SF novels tells me that either:
    (a) we’re witnessing a novel type of psychopathology
    (b) the protests are a smoke screen for something else and are designed as a distraction.
    While I can’t say that I’ve plumbed the full depths of human psychopathology during my medical career, I’ve never known individuals to congregate in groups and engage in mass echolalia. Usually echolalia is associated with brain damage. What is far more likely is that someone became aware of this mass of non-thinking humanoids and knew the right verbal triggers to incite flocking behavior in this group. The level of intellect that I’ve seen in presumably randomly selected specimens of echolalians seems to be quite low. What remains to be discovered is whether this is another Soros plot to make yet more money or whether this is the DemocRat’s trying to divert attention from BO’s failures.

  31. Citizen Wilson @ 11:46 a.m.: “In some cities, there are bylaws that forbid the use of megaphones and electronic means of amplifying one’s voice. So, the People’s microphone is used.”
    In most cities there are laws that forbid the occupation of parks and other public properties too. Why would they care about avoiding megaphones?
    Parks still occupied. Protesters still vacant.

  32. Interesting…
    The people have to repeat what the speaker says. And in doing so they have to at some level support what is being said and become part of it.
    So when the speaker supports, unions, socialism, free sex, and sex with animals, everybody has to say it and support it.
    Mass brainwashing is what it is.

  33. This is all about diverting attention away from the Zeros failures,IE fast and furious,Solyndra,the huge borrowing,his failure to turn the economy around and who knows how many others yet to surface.The DemocRats are desperate and they know they have tied their future to a loser,this fleaparty movement is their last hope for salvation.
