#OccupyToronto

Sadly, the revolution will not be televised. It will, however, be tweeted.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Occupy Toronto, an offshoot of Anonymous’s Occupy Wallstreet. For those of you interested in participating, the meeting place will be at King and Bay streets in the Financial District at 10am. I’ll be attending the event and tweeting about it, as I’m sure will various other members of the Xtra Toronto staff, so you can follow me, Andrea Houston and Xtra magazine itself for more up-to-date information on the proceedings.
