KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) This weekend we are going down memory lane with a short documentary about the forceful eviction of Occupy Nova Scotia from Victoria Park in November 2011.
A shameful moment for Halifax Council, as it met behind closed doors and voted to evict protesters who had earlier vacated the Grand Parade to make room for Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Also, quite a few vaguely familiar people in this video, younger versions of people I have gotten to know since I started reporting for the Halifax Media Co-op and now the Advocate. I spot lots of Labour folks.
The documentary was written, filmed and produced by Nicolas James and Bill McEwen.
If you can, please support the Nova Scotia Advocate so that it can continue to cover issues such as poverty, racism, exclusion, workers’ rights and the environment in Nova Scotia. A pay wall is not an option for us, since it would exclude many readers who don’t have any disposable income at all. We rely entirely on occasional one-time donors and a group of 25 or so dedicated monthly sustainers.
