“The brave citizens of Toronto are peaceful and well-mannered occupiers, and we will not let the city, or the mayor that uses vulgar language in public get involved,” says a computerized voice in a November 12 video (above) by the group.

“You have said by next week the Occupiers shall be removed, and we say by next week you do not change your mind you shall be removed from the Internet. We have already planned for this, so if we see any interruptions we will launch the operation that we have planned for a while….Toronto, expect us,” the video continues.

Anonymous has previously stated it would ignore the Occupy Canada movement unless it saw an “interruption” to the protests. Regardless, spokespeople with the office of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford say they will continue to push ahead with plans to bring the protest to a “peaceful conclusion.”
