Let's not insult the vultures, at least they have a role in the animal kingdom.

Have them removed and also the journalists hanging around there so as to not have all sort of biased reportings in the media in favour of these protesters.

Water cannons and firehoses would be an environmentally friendly and safe way to deal with the health concerns

This has nothing to do with the NDP or any particular Party. All Parties are responsible for the growing inequities in Canada and the rest of the industrial world. None have made any serious attempt to address the problems. Flaherty was a member of the Inner Cabinet in Ontario (under Harris) that increased poverty in the province by 50%: and deliberately so.

Why should the protest end when government is ignoring it and the media ridiculing it? What it needs is an infusion om new blood to swell the ranks of the protesters. I recall a programme a year or two ago when Bob Rae and two other former premiers of Provinces were interviewed and the question was asked of their response to protesters. All three were honest enough to say that they basically ignored protests.

The only way a protest will work is to make it big enough and loud enough that government has to pay attention.

Growing poverty: a shrinking Middle class ;food banks as a staple underpinning of society: rapidly growing disparities of income and wealth. People protesting these are not to be sneered at by the comfortable and complacent.

Quite possibly many of the protesters have time because they are among the three or four million Canadians who are either unemployed or under employed. Or students looking rather hopelessly to their future.
