Occupy Montreal protesters started tearing down camp Thursday afternoon after the city asked them to vacate Victoria Square on the spot.
Police posted a second round of eviction notices Thursday morning that were more strongly worded than a previous warning issued the previous night.
Thursday’s notice asked occupiers to vacate “immediately.”
A city spokesman says Montreal wants the campers to leave on their own, but he adds that necessary measures will be taken if required.
“We have indicated that the period of tolerance towards the protesters at the campground is over and that we will apply the city’s existing bylaws,” Gonzalo Nunez said on Thursday. “We’re still working on convincing the protesters to act on a voluntary basis.”
Crackdown on Occupy Canada encampments

About 2,000 supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement in Toronto marched from the protesters’ encampment in St. James Park to City Hall on Saturday. The demonstration was in response to efforts currently underway by the administration of right-wing mayor Rob Ford to evict several hundred people occupying the park. Ford has already garnered significant opposition from working people in Toronto for his agenda of privatizations, wholesale layoffs and massive cuts to social services.
Protesters in the crowd were quick to link these attacks with the move to curtail the democratic rights of the occupiers. Despite a “no politics” mantra promulgated by elements within the Occupy movement, the possibility of occupying threatened libraries, public housing units and workplaces was being raised on the march by a section of community activists and workers.
The “Evict Rob Ford” march comes on the heels of a concerted effort by municipal officials to shut down Occupy encampments across Canada. In the previous 10 days, police have moved in to evict protesters in Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, London, Ontario, and in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where 14 arrests were made. Police were poised Sunday night to remove scores of demonstrators in Edmonton, Alberta. In Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia, orders enabling evictions in the coming week have been issued by the provincial court.

The bloody chaos engulfing Egypt again, just months after its first revolution toppled President Hosni Mubarak, is the focus of the world’s media spotlight. But Western leaders are turning a blind eye, instead setting their sights on pastures new.
It seems the bogeyman of the moment is another Middle Eastern country.
“Abuses and loss of life are taking place in Syria,” says British Foreign Secretary William Hague.
“The future of Syria now depends upon the ability of all us to keep pressure on them,” says EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton.
“We’ve called on President Bashar al-Assad to make reforms,” says French Foreign Secretary Alain Juppe.
Around 30 people have died in Cairo’s clashes already, and it has been all over the international media.
