Toronto Occupiers Targeting Rob Ford

As court proceedings determine whether or not Occupy Toronto will be evicted, protesters have a back-up plan for the weekend.

Occupy Toronto’s lawyers are currently presenting their case in court. Officers handed out eviction notices to participants earlier this week and asked protesters to vacate St. James park after the court issued an injunction. Occupy lawyers are arguing that the group's constitutional rights to free expression and assembly should outweigh municipal laws. It seems the judge is not pleased that Occupiers never sought a permit and failed to comply with a construction freeze he ordered. The city also claims Occupiers were playing drums late at night and damaging the park, as well as hurting local businesses and residents. While Toronto Occupiers await their verdict, they are planning an “Evict Rob Ford” march for the weekend.
