Joint statement made to the public by Officer Gary Meissner,  and occupiers Ian Smart, and Jordon Walsh (one of the people who chained himself to the library) on the day of the Occupy Toronto Eviction on November 23,  2011 about the process of negotiating and the peaceful resolution of the library yurt. 

Occupy Ian Smart: "My partner here and myself, were quite confident that we would be in jail by 11 AM this morning. And we were willing to take it that far. Just so that we can protect what we consider an essential neccecity.  And that is libraries".
