Though capitalism and corporate greed have infected much of Toronto since the late 19th century, its most virulent form, "Austerity" has only recently turned in to a a pan-damn-emic.

"Most Torontonians are sick and could use a day off" explained Lana Goldberg of Occupy Toronto. "People are suffering with Harperitis and have serious headaches from Fordotrophy, which makes it really hard to work and make a living. They should call in sick on May 1st and come to the rally and march. A nice day in the sun will help."

Sunlight is the primary source of Vitamin D for people in North America, which is necessary for healthy living and good for one's skin. Sunlight also increases serotonin, and balances the body’s circadian rhythm.

"Though sunlight is a temporary cure for our current maladies, a good dose of protest could really help people recover," added Yogi Acharya of No One Is Illegal - Toronto, who has been organizing May Day demonstrations in Toronto since 2006. "The Spring season in 2011 saw a surprising break-through in many parts of the world against these illnesses - we are hoping that Spring 2012 will be similar in Toronto."
