Not everyone is impressed with the Occupation

There's a case to be made that Canada's version of the Occupy (insert your town here) movement isn't carrying quite the gravitas as that of other nations.

Unlike Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and other parts of the European Union, our economic standing isn't quite in the midst of collapse, actually even compared to our neighbours to the south, Canadians for the most part are moving on with life as usual.

Unemployment in some locales is far too high and there is no doubt a growing number of the hidden unemployed that just don't count anymore, lost in the mystery zone of Stats Can statistical calculus, where leaving the EI rolls means you have been zapped away, out of sight, out of mind...

Still, all in all, compared to the rest of the world, Canada has fared the tumult better than most.

Hence, the regular crowd that seems to appear at all protests that have gathered this weekend past under the  Occupy banner.

Kelly McParland of the National Post offers up this review of their efforts in Toronto, a gathering, which in his mind, is one that really doesn't portend of a great movement at the moment.
