I have always felt a deep sympathy and respect for General Dalliare. I was pleasantly surprised to read his awesome take on OWS, the Arab spring and the power of a plugged-in generation to create change in Canada too.

"Dallaire says Occupy is a “magnificent” movement that finally calls out the one per cent for taking advantage of the other 99. “It's been since the ‘60s that we've waited for something like this,” he says, adding “the greed side of capitalism irks me significantly.”"

A really good quick read at:

Watching the live stream, and it looks like the police stopped everybody, and then arrested them for standing around. Camera guy and national lawyers guild observer turfed to the sidelines.
