Canada is often thought of as a land of peace and justice, but is it really that way for everyone? It seems that it’s not always the case for those who are homeless or otherwise displaced.

I have lived in multiple cities before and Saskatoon is probably in the worst condition. Now before you bitch at the foreigner who isn’t even from this province, please let me explain. Put away the torches and pitchforks.
Go to the City of Saskatoon’s “Quick Facts” page online and what do you see? Pictures of the city skyline, though not in winter. You also see people walking by our beautiful riverfront, once again, not during winter. To an outside observer, Saskatoon would seem pretty awesome. And yes, we have a total of 2,381 hours of sunshine a year, the Saskatoon Exhibition, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and our famed uranium and potash industries.

When Saskatoon’s branch of the Occupy Wall Street protests set up camp in Friendship Park on Oct. 15, it quickly became a home for the homeless in town.
Since the first protesters took to the streets of New York’s financial district on Sept. 17, the Occupy Wall Street movement has spread to more than 1,500 cities worldwide. About 1,000 cities with active Occupy protests are much farther south, in the United States, allowing the Saskatoon protesters to develop distinctly local priorities.
