Original Toronto Star caption: Young people who were evicted yesterday from tents on the University of Toronto campus listen to Ontario Liberal Robert Nixon at Queen's Park where they held a protest rally today. Nixon told them he would question the government about providing temporary accommodation for young hitchhikers in Toronto this summer and invited the crowd to go to the public gallery in the Legislature and listen. He needed bullhorn to make himself heard.
