Tent Doors: Weather Conditions and Drop Day

tent doors: One of the key concerns is demonstrating in the middle of winter, which was the all too familiar cause of most Occupy camps shutting down as temperatures dropped, according to Rabble. In Occupy Toronto, the temperature began to drop day by day until we opened our tent doors to piles of drifting snow. See, on the one hand there was the judge who denied the Standing Rock Sioux tribe request for an injunction and therefore declared that the Dakota Access pipeline construction could legally proceed, and the other where the U.S. federal government then stepped in and temporarily halted the project. At first concern over our deteriorating weather conditions were simply whispers, and then became General Assembly GA items to discuss, and then through emergency meetings. And at that time in 2011, with so little time to prepare, and with so many grandiose ideas that turned out to be laughably impractical, we had to finally admit that no, the state didnt win out against us, it was winter that won. While Toronto did not lack in heart, we had very formidable odds stacked against us by Mother Nature, as winter camping is not only extremely expensive, but also particularly dangerous if not done right.
