St. James Church Still Has to Answer for Changing Stories

While interviewing politicians for my thesis on lying in politics, various politicians stated over and over again that lying was necessary tool in the game of politics.

However I was struck by a religious conservative politician who looked at things simply from moral standpoint: "I don't lie in politics because I believe that lying is a sin," he told.

Occupy Osgoode @ Night

DSRichardson — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:04:48 +0000

I find the aesthetics of a miniature tent city right next to City Hall quite incredible. During the GA last night I decided to take photographs from several angles to illustrate the fact that from the tent city you can see City Hall, Osgoode Hall, Old City Hall, Superior Court, CIBC. BMO. CIBC, KPMG etc.

Occupying housing from the Pope Squat to Occupy Toronto

Mick Sweetman — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:55:28 +0000

Looking at the experiences of past political squats as Occupy Toronto moves to take new ones.

It was a sweltering afternoon in late July 2002 when the armoured vehicles of the Toronto Police Emergency Task Force pulled up in front of our building. Quickly we started barricading the door with an old desk, if they were coming to kick us out we weren't going to make it easy for them. We waited tensely as the cops approached the door with submachine guns drawn. Our crime?

St. James Cathedral Evicts Occupy Toronto from Church Land

Carmelle Wolfson — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 02:48:28 +0000

Occupy Toronto protesters received eviction orders on November 21, 2011 after a court ruling upheld the decision of the City of Toronto to move them from St. James Park. Part of this land is owned by St James Cathedral, documents obtained from Toronto Media Co-op reveal, making the Church complicit in this eviction.

Interview: Security and Community at Occupy Toronto

Taylor Chelsea talks about Marshals, police, women and de-escalation

Security at Occupy Toronto has been an issue, mainly because the park is located in downtown Toronto and doesn't occupy in a vacuum. I spoke with Taylor Chelsea (for this story) about how active occupiers are creating structures to deal with safety in the park.
