you've lost . . . well, The Globe and Mail.
The Canadian media have overblown the occupier story because they’re desperately afraid of missing something big. They don’t want to make the same mistake they made with the Tea Party, which they at first portrayed as a bunch of nuts in tricorne hats. Also, like the occupiers themselves, they have a bad case of me-tooism. They really want to be a part of something significant.
Inflating the importance of the occupation is a brainless way of nodding to a number of extremely significant but complex issues: the growing wealth gap, the stagnation of middle-class incomes, the rise of long-term unemployment, diminished generational prospects for the young. Much has gone wrong in America, and Canadians will be affected, too. But until the occupation movement in North America attracts as many people as the Halloween Parade does in New York, or a marathon in Toronto, you can safely ignore it..
There are still a few skirmishers fighting bravely on in the comments; but it's basically like the Germans at Stalingrad in 1943.
