The City of Montreal is against the Occupation's wooden structures.

Yesterday several members of the Occupy Montreal movement went to City Hall to show proposed long house plans that would offer lodging for a total of 80 people. The city decided that any wooden structure was too much of a fire hazard and that all wooden constructions had to be dismantled

Here's the thing, do our provincial and federal governments give two hoots about the structures in which indigenous people live? No one ever asks them to dismantle their not to code homes.  Yet these are just as dangerous according to Montreal City hall. 

Furthermore, yesterday in the French media was an article that said that 45% of buildings on St Catherine street don't meet building codes. What's the difference between them and the Occupation. They won't ask all those buildings to clear out!
