Not sure on the numbers, I've heard 30,000 and others say 10,000, but in la Puerta del Sol in Madrid, Spain, this is what you call a protest.
Considering Madrid has a population of only 3.3 million, this is one heck of a crowd. By comparison, NYC has a population of just over eight million (not including Brooklyn, Manhattan, etc.), kick it up to say 11 million with surrounding areas. It's 18-19 million if you count the whole state.
Makes you wonder what NYC would look like if you had the same ratio of protesters to population density as in Madrid. You'd be looking at 20,000 to 60,000, maybe even 90,000 people.
Anyway, just blows your mind to see so many people in the streets.
Apparently Montreal actually had a decent showing as OWS protested outside the Bank of Montreal.
Vancouver seemed kind of small given the population size.
It's funny to see the difference between Montreal and Vancouver (folks seem a bit more energetic in Montreal).
Toronto seemed like a small crowd as well (considering the city's population)
