Queen's Park - Midnight Monday Morning
Coming up on midnight Sunday, I'm driving around with a my sister, her roommate and a friend. The friend is Tamil, and we heard about the demonstration downtown. By the time we got there, the protesters had moved off the Gardiner, so we headed to Queen's Park.
I have never seen so many police in my life. Dundas, University and Queen's Park Blvd were lined on both sides. Two busses of full-gear SWAT. Groups on bikes. Dozens and dozens containing the Tamil group to the lawn.
I was saddened that we could count on one hand the number of non-Tamil protesters, ourselves aside.
Here are some images I caught. They're dark (it was midnight afterall), and I didn't have the right lens with me for evening shots.
