Mohamed El-Erian gives a great summary of the reality of the economic crisis and the inequities represented by the occupy movement.

In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows his hearer to think he means something quite different. Statements like Marshal Petain was a true patriot, The Soviet press is the freest in the world, The Catholic Church is opposed to persecution, are almost always made with intent to deceive. Other words used in variable meanings, in most cases more or less dishonestly, are: class, totalitarian, science, progressive, reactionary, bourgeois, equality.

As civic authorities across Canada and the U.S. move to end the various occupations, Vincent Mosco, professor emeritus of sociology at Queen's University, said the "extraordinary" movement had created a rarely seen coalition. "When you see trade unionists, students, minority groups and others coming together, locking arms across sites in North America, what we have here is something unprecedented — at least in recent memory," Mosco said from Ottawa.

Reports are coming out of Toronto that the city’s Occupy protest faction is suffering a drop in numbers. The protests started out strong on October 22, with a turnout of roughly 1000 protestors despite less-than-ideal weather conditions.

However, since then, the numbers have been dwindling, and while many are blaming lack of initiative and support, the real cause can be traced to something much more sinister.

“People are just… disappearing” says Peter Baker, an admin for the Toronto chapter’s Facebook group from his tent at St. James Park. “We don’t know what to do. It started happening about two days after we made camp.”

The park, located just off Church and Jarvis, is (unbeknownst to many protestors) a popular feeding ground for Mayor Rob Ford. “He’s been going there for years to eat joggers and transients,” says one City Hall representative who requested to remain anonymous, “and we sent a few city police over to warn the protestors that this would be like a buffet for him.”

Baker says the warning was rejected, and that they “do not respond to bullies.”
