Global demonstrations against corporate greed and social inequality will "snowball" in the coming year as more people are inspired by the protests that made their way into Canada, the co-founder of a Vancouver-based activist group said Sunday.

"There is this incredible background energy that has been building up," Jamie Biggar, of Leadnow.ca told CTV's Question Period.

"This sense of growing inequality in our societies and growing political corruption and so many people have been feeling this way and there has been something about this occupied movement that has just triggered that, coalesced that and there is that mutual inspiration as more people get out there inspiring other people to get out. I think you are going to see an ongoing snowball effect in the coming year."

Rallies began in more than a dozen Canadian cities Saturday, echoing the movement that has spread across the globe. Estimated crowds of 2,000 took to the streets in Toronto and Vancouver, while 1,000 participated in a similar gathering in Montreal.

A general problem with the protests to date, however, has been that there has been no clear consensus of the overriding concerns, nor have any real leaders emerged.

But Biggar sees this changing as the various groups meet on a daily basis to form a consensus, which he said, would help them "get closer and closer to the one demand that everyone has been looking for."

"I think that over time you are going to see people elected or chosen to be spokespeople and you will see leadership in that fashion," he said. "It is really a new kind of horizontal radically decentralized organizing and that has been really exciting people and motivating people."

Meanwhile, Biggar's group is also urging Brookfield Asset Management to back down on plans to evict protesters from a park which the Canadian real estate and asset management company owns in New York City.

According to the group, Brookfield has an agreement with New York City to keep Zuccotti Park open to the public 24 hours a day.

But Leadnow said the company plans to ask police to evict participants from the park as well as impose new rules to prevent the participants from bringing sleeping bags or tarps back into the park. New York police can only evict participants if Brookfield labels them trespassers.

Zuccotti Park is seen as the birthplace of the Occupy Wall Street movement which has spread across the country and around the world.

Leadnow is asking Brookfield to show its support for the rally by allowing the protestors to "continue occupying Zuccotti Park without interference," while supplying them with "the minimum requirements for safety and sanitation..."

Brookfield was not immediately available for comment.
