Their stories were varied, their demands different, but demonstrators drawn to the streets of cities across Canada Saturday, including Hamilton, were united by their desire to decry the financial inequality and corporate greed they thought was eating away at society.
After being inspired by a nearly month-long movement south of the border, the Occupy Canada campaign took off in cities across the country this weekend.
The “Occupy Hamilton” movement started today at Gore Park at 12pm.
The grassroots protests had Canadians expressing their disenchantment with the corporate system which they said favours small but vastly wealthy elite and disregards the masses — or “the 99 per cent.”
It’s not known how long the protests will last and how the Canadian Governments intends to approach the movement.
