"You think this is a good budget, Mr. Mayor? Tell that to the people who are going to be waiting an extra five, 10, 15 minutes at the bus stop. Tell that to the kids who are losing their wading pool. Tell that to the people who want their parks trimmed more frequently."
"If for some reason the judge found the City of Toronto couldn’t stop people from setting up homes and tents in our parks, it would be a matter that would affect the entire country. We’ve got beautiful parks throughout the country and I would think that people from around the world would come to live in our parks if we didn’t have some bylaws in place to protect them."
— Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday reacting to the impending court battle that pits the city against Occupy Toronto protesters who want to remain St. James Park.
