I guarantee they would not be pretending to act lenient if it were not election season.
So in other words it’s not eviction day.
The meaning of “eviction” includes that the leaving is in some way forced. It’s not just a deadline that is set by somebody sitting in some office. It is an event in which vacant possession of a property is given to its owner, removing the existing occupants.
Now, if they said that on eviction day instead of a bunch of police they will have just a single sheriff to serve the eviction together with Regional staff to assist with figuring out where people will sleep the next night and moving their stuff, that would be meaningful: it would be an eviction, just trying to do it in a less confrontational way. But the article says police, bylaw, and Regional staff will all be elsewhere, which means it isn’t really an eviction at all.
