His top black Webster suggests rally Continued from page 1 Park but said he didn't need any- thing himself although he was grate- ful for all of the help he has received so far. After receiving media attention about his cause on several large media outlets including CityTV, CTV and CBC radio, Toronto police asked Webster to move his car because he could not sleep in it overnight. Bev Hill organizer for the Grass Roots Movement said. "He drove around Queen's Park in a circle in the early hours of the morning until police told him he was obstructing traffic," he said. Hill added that Howard Hampton, NDP leader, as well as John Tory, Conservative leader, both offered Webster their parking spots. He parked in Hampton's spot and was also welcomed into his office to get warm or use the phone. During the meeting Webster phoned twice and just before he was about to address the crowd his phone was disconnected. "For awhile now [Webster] has suspected that he is being watched and monitored and that his phone is tapped," one man operating the equipment who got a hold of Webster said. "So that shows that the government is scared." Mistele said the message he got from listening to what Webster said was that society still values the farmer. "We should build on that trust," he said. "And not squander it." A press released issued earlier in the week stated that there would be a bus leaving to Queen's Park for a rally at 8 a.m. from Hensall, Seaforth, Mitchell, and Lucknow.
