Occupation changes form drastically

I realise that I haven't said anything here, officially, on the eviction of Occupy Nova Scotia. Perhaps my feelings have eluded words. On November 11, members of Occupy Nova Scotia were camped at Victoria park, after discussing with city hall and veterans and deciding to relocate to Victoria park to make way for the Rememberance day ceremonies. While Occupy Nova Scotia members shook the mayor's hand and laid a wreath on the Cenotaph, police moved in and forcibly evicted the camp at Victoria park with two hours notice, after a vaguely worded notice.

A good analysis is available here, on the Green Interview, By Silver Donald Cameron:

Right now in the movement a legal response is being formulated. I am looking for opportunities to take part in continuing the Occupation as a teacher and in providing food, if not shelter, to the Halifax homeless population.
