On the 7th day of the Occupy Toronto protests, my friend and I were warming up at a cafe when we met Edward. He had been camping out at Occupy Toronto for three days when we met him! While we were talking to him he had told us that he originally intended to just come down on weekends to support Occupiers, but a week before the protests were to begin he was layed off from his job! He decided that it was the best time to take action so he got his things together and came from his home in Bowmanville to permanently camp with the rest of the occupiers! He informed me that he was there because he cared not just about himself but for the generations that are to come after us!
