As far as we are concerned, the step we took was necessary and fully justified. If the authorities feel that taking the fence down was a greater crime than putting it up, they will have to act as they see fit. (5/6)
Today, @230Fightback took down the insulting barbed wire fence that had been erected by Toronto developer KingSett Capital to protect a vacant property from people in need of #housing. The authorities must decide if bringing down this fence is more criminal that putting it up.
@230Fightback today removed the barbed wire fence that a #developer is using to protect its investment from people in Toronto who need #housing.
As you can see, our action immediately received a very powerful endorsement from above.
@230Fightback took down a barbed wire fence that a Toronto developer put up to 'protect' vacant land from people in need of housing.
Believing this to be a just and necessary act, we did this publicly in the belief that the crime was putting this fence up and not taking it down.
On Wednesday, October 14, 230 Fightback and the Toronto Underhoused and Homeless Union (TUHU) put up a line of photos along this insulting fence that showed local people and quoted them on the need for housing in the community.
On Wednesday, October 14, 230 Fightback and TUHU put up a line of photos along this insulting fence of 215-230 Sherbourne Street that featured local neighbours and quoted them on the need for housing in the community.
KingSett and its enablers at City Hall are making a very big mistake if they imagine that their high-handed conduct is going to be passively endured.
This fence must be brought down and social housing must be built at 214-230 Sherbourne.

It seems that KingSett won’t even tolerate this form of legitimate community expression. Two days later, the photos were removed and the compelling message they conveyed have been disregarded.
