Occupy Toronto Protesters Quit Queen's Park Site

Occupy Toronto protesters who set up camp at Queen's Park on the weekend have removed their tents, reportedly after being told they were breaking the law.

Some protesters had moved to the park outside the Ontario legislature to bring their cause closer to provincial politicians. Protester John Erg said Occupy Toronto had become so popular, it had outgrown its space at St. James Park downtown.

But the new campsite was short-lived after protesters were told the land was provincial property and they couldn't camp on it, police said. The posters left Saturday night.

The majority of protesters had stayed at James Park but said they planned to discuss whether they should relocate.

Businesses in the area have complained about the makeshift village, and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has said it was time for the protesters to "move on."
