I think it should end, but the protester interviewed in the article makes a good point, that people die of drug related deaths fairly often in the City, but it doesn't get this kind of attention. I don't think the fact they were at this occupy site is the cause and it is an illegitimate excuse to end it forcefully.
Who seriously has time to sit under a tarp in a public park for weeks? The protesters are as much a burden to working Canadians as the broken financial system is. It's kind of funny how the people that didn't contribute anything to the system in the first place are the ones protesting the loudest.

Not quite true either. She probably failed out of school and blamed her teacher.

You know, if the NDP supporter is onside with seeing this for what it is then I don't know what else can be added.
