Occupy Toronto protestors said Sunday that their work is far from done and they will not dismantle the month-old encampment despite strong words from Toronto's mayor.

The protesters, who have set up camp in Toronto's St. James Park, said they were there to "practice direct democracy, discuss solutions to local, national, and global problems, dialogue with various community groups, and to address various issues in our communities."

The protest, which has assembled in Toronto as part of a global movement against global greed and other social inequalities, has come under attack for having no clear agenda.

Mayor Rob Ford suggested earlier this week that businesses and residents of the area want him to dismantle the camp and that they've "had enough" of the protest. The gaffe-prone mayor also said that the occupants had made a point and it was time to leave.

"In contrast to Ford's statement, we have not made our point because we are not here simply to make a point. We are here to bring about change. We are occupying St. James Park to practice direct democracy, discuss solutions to local, national, and global problems, dialogue with various community groups, and to address various issues in our communities," the group said in a statement.

The group pointed to the various initiatives it has taken since the movement began including establishing a library, setting up a free kitchen, as well as fighting for the rights of individuals to access basic services.

"We are trying to address the inadequacies of the system in which we live and advocate for a better, more equitable society. The wider public supports our efforts, as evidenced by recent polls and the high level of support and donations in the park," the group said.

"We look forward to continuing to work with the community, and we welcome dialogue with all interested parties, including city councilors and the mayor."

Late Saturday a group claiming to be the hacker collective "Anonymous" posted a message on YouTube threatening action if Ford moved ahead with his threat to evict the protesters from the park.

Neither Ford, nor the Occupy Toronto officials, have responded to the threat.
