What is Occupy Wallstreet?

[Jester]

For Canada, I was able to google the Wages as a % of income, but had to calculate the transfer per capita by adding up the ~70 billion spent on transfer payments over the population of Canada.

In the Canadian context, transfer payments are made by the Federal government to the Provincial governments in order to help fund Federally regulated programs that are administered at the Province level. It is accounting - taxes from one pile moved into another pile.

They are not in any sense a measure of total Canadian spending on entitlement programs.
