Occupy Vancouver has returned to the streets of the downtown core, this time to protest the logging of old-growth forests along the coast.
But while the movement has been out of the public eye for some time, many organization problems remain.
A group of just over 20 protesters set up shop outside the Bentall 5 tower, watched by an almost equal number of police officers and security.
VPD: “Did you want me to answer your question?”
Occupier: “Please!”
VPD: “Then stop talking so I can answer your question.”
Occupier: “Does the public have access to…”
VPD: “You’re talking, sir…”
While the building’s owners are letting the demonstrators stay outside, they’ve banned any tents.
Occupier: “Is this territory, this land right here, the same as a private owner’s lawn?”
VPD: “Yes, that’s correct.”
VPD: “If you disagree with that, sir, you can address it in a court room. That’s not something I can address for you today.”
The protesters plan to stay until noon Sunday.
