City attempts to block Toronto Stop the Cuts Network Public Meeting; Meeting to go ahead despite threats from the city.

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-City attempts to block Toronto Stop the Cuts Network Public Meeting; Meeting to go ahead despite threats from the city.

Phone: 416-826-4796
On the web: http://torontostopthecuts.com and www.facebook.com/stopthecuts, Email: tostopthecuts@gmail.com

In a move that Rob Ford's critics are calling anti-democratic and an attack on free speech, the city is attempting to stop the Mass Meeting to Stop Ford’s Cuts from taking place. They are shutting down Dufferin Grove Park, where the meeting is scheduled from 12pm to 5pm on Saturday, September 10. Organizers from the Toronto Stop the Cuts Network say they are expecting thousands of residents to attend, to write a Toronto Declaration,  ‘a vision for the Toronto people need and deserve’.


The city has cancelled all programming at Dufferin Grove Park for the day. There will be none of the usual services at this busy park on a Saturday - no gardening, no food cart, no water around the playground. “Shutting down Dufferin Grove Park is an attempt to drive a wedge between Toronto Stop the Cuts and community members who rely on park services”, says Yogi Acharya, a member of Stop the Cuts. “It is also intended to prevent park staff, unionized with CUPE local 79, from participating in or helping with this meeting.”

“These heavy handed tactics against the most democratic of things – a meeting in a public park – shows that Ford and many in City Hall have no respect for Torontonians who disagree with their agenda”, says event
organizer Constanza Farias. “The message is clear: if you do not support the gutting of city services and the privatization of everything that isn’t nailed down, you have no rights here in Ford Nation”

Toronto Stop the Cuts Network is moving ahead with this meeting and urging more people to come out. “We were expecting nearly 2,000 people at first, but after this ridiculous move, I am sure more people are going to show up.” says Toronto Stop the Cuts Network member Jessica Lyons. “This is a pathetic attempt to thwart a movement that can’t be stopped. It shows their weakness and desperation. Ford obviously does not believe in democracy, but the people of Toronto will stand up to this bully”.

Event Information:
Mass Meeting to Stop Ford’s Cuts
Saturday, September 10, 2011, 12pm (lunch) 1-5pm (meeting)
