More links anent the current situation

Some thoughts from an Urbania writer about the current situation. He notes that GND’s role is as a spokesman, not a leader; I also liked this: “Jeunes, moins jeunes et moins moins jeunes se partagent la rue pour dire aux dirigeants que ça suffit. Qu’on ne veut pas vendre nos ressources pour quelques sous, qu’on ne veut pas d’élus qui courtisent la mafia, qu’on ne veut plus se faire avoir.”

Only a career journalist could have produced this OpenFile item on how Montreal’s protests have become boring. Only a journalist filing a report like Sunday night’s Concerts de casseroles… déclaré illégale… tolérée… une seule arrestation would regret the chance of filing a white-hot bulletin from the barricades of a city under siege.

This blog entry by U.S. activist Cindy Milstein has been making the rounds; a little wordy, it’s still interesting to hear the thoughts of an American Occupy militant on our casserole uprising.
