The Huffington Post's Ottawa Bureau Chief Althia Raj took a stroll by Confederation Park Wednesday morning and snapped the photo below of the protesters camped out there.

About 50 tents are pitched in the park, according to the Ottawa Citizen. Occupy Ottawa laid claim to part of the park Saturday following a rally protesting economic inequality.

Occupy protests in Canada have been tame compared to those in the U.S. and Europe so far, and the Ottawa gathering has been no exception.

However, despite worsening weather, those in the park show no signs of packing up and nightly meetings on the direction of the protest continue.

The protesters will be marching to the Sheraton hotel in downtown Ottawa at 5:00 pm to protest a panel discussion organized by the Canadian International council on deepening ties with the United States, according to examiner.com.

Only immigrants really work in this country. Ever look at the energy level of a Canadian born school aged child. They have a real attitude when it comes to working. They don't want to work. They rely on their parents to carry their leisure brain as they drift through life. All you have to do is visit a fast food outlet and you can see who the real workers are. They save their money as a family, buy their house and move on to the next house. I like this. Ship some of these school leisure boys off to "have nothing land" and they will get the real feeling for what it is all about. What's really clear is their sense of purpose that's why they don't vote because they are not up on the issues, don't care and good for us. Finally, that's why their voice is not there cause they don't even know it is happerning.
