Toronto has been normalizing private security in public spaces for years — specifically by contracting security firms to surveil #encampments. This is the next level: one that leverages and profits off of middle class fear with no accountability, either for those hired or hiring.

@Diana_C_McNally Hired security is equivalent to 1930's mobsters asking for protection money. It has just been dressed up .
@Diana_C_McNally Private security should be held to the same standards as Police officers! They have no business escorting the less fortunate out of malls or libraries. Especially to the Bus or Subway station!
@Diana_C_McNally IMO It's contrary to security guard code of conduct.
@Diana_C_McNally Sidewalks aren't private property, if accosted by security in this manner call the police.
