In October, a group of demonstrators for the Hilton was in Toronto with signs with slogans like "Do not Feed Prisons 'and' Housing, No Prisons." The Prison Moratorium Action edl Coalition protested against new decisions of the Canadian Parliament, where mandatory minimum sentences for many crimes were committed and billions were earmarked for prison construction.
However, the demonstration was not against the government, but on the occasion of the annual meeting of the Academy of Architecture for Justice. "Because who else benefits from locking up people?", So argued the protesters. The "profiteers" were in this case, the Toronto-based Zeidler Partnership Architects with their senior partner Alan Munn and some of his colleagues, who at the Hilton presented their plans for a new detention center in Toronto South.

But Sperry refers to the ethical standard 1.4, which states edl that "Members must maintain in the exercise of their profession.
