We're on our way to Trinity Bellwoods where there is a mass eviction happening, attempting to clear an encampment. The city of Toronto has brought in swathes of police forces - dozens of officers in paramilitary gear, private security, horse mounted units, helicopters, and drones ImageImage
Since this morning, supporters participating in encampment defense have been pepper sprayed and are now kettled by police alongside encampment residents. Legal observers and press are being denied entry at the south gate.
Police are proceeding with the narrative that every encampment resident will be housed in a hotel. How is this a consensual choice when you have armed forces show up at your doorstep? Why is support conditional on being uprooted from community and giving up autonomy?
