Thanx...
As much as it was fun to poke fun at some of the occupiers. I think eviction, is the wrong route.
I support peaceful, civil disobedience as a form of protest.
True. But I think the encampment is sort of symbolic, and part and parcel of the protest.
Did you catch that Tweets are saying the Police are being very polite about it?
So much for jackbooted thugs.
Yeah, it seems pretty cool. As long as no officer buckaroo or uppity hero hippie doesn't want to be 'famous', should be fine.
Besides, it's friggin' warmer inside man! :lol:

Hopefully. It might be just commentary, but they're saying the occupiers are being evicted as well. Not just the removal of the encampment.
I don't like the way that sounds.
Pffft. It's 2 degrees.
Thanx.
They can't stay there overnight. But they are allowed to be there during the day ... sans camping equipment.
Right to protest and right to free assembly do not translate to right to camp.
That's sort the point of civil disobedience.
I wonder who will be picking up the tab to replace the sod?
The Taxpayers of Toronto of course.
I understand that this is civil disobedience. But the result of civil disobedience is usually reaction from the state/police.
If I felt they had a hope in hell of actually changing anything or changing things in a positive way, I could feel much more involved in or sympathy for the movement. But they have yet to come out and say they are clearly for this, this and only this and not that. Corporate greed is too vague a statement for me.
Too many news video cams around makes the "Occupationless" act up...all looking for their 20 minutes of fame.
Why are you asking now?
What's was it all about?
Same things as Egypt.
Unemployment, corruption, high cost of living, rights etc.
But we supported it in Egypt, because it was 'over there', and didn't bother us as we went to get our Starbucks coffee.
We even supported al Qaeda in Libya. Now there is something to talk about while waiting in line at Starbucks.
Maybe they should apply for a taxpayer funded telefilm Canada grant and start a news chanel on cable?
