Occupiers in Major Cities All Facing Eviction

It's the protest round-up before the, y'know, actual round-up of protesters.
Despite an eviction notice telling them to get lost yesterday, the Occupy Toronto protest remains at St. James Park this morning without any police interference. Many of the protesters say they will stay put until they are forcibly removed, but they've yet to have to test their mettle as city police bide their time. Camps in Ottawa, Edmonton, and Montreal are similarly bracing for removal, as they too have been served eviction notices, but police have yet to move in on those camps yet. The Vancouver Occupiers have moved their site from the Vancouver Art Gallery to the provincial courthouse just a block away after being served an eviction notice, but they say the city can't move them from the courthouse as it falls under provincial jurisdiction. The Occupy Calgary protest was torn down last night by police, meaning that Occupy sites in every major Canadian city have either been removed or been told to disband.
