How would it turn into an altercation? Demonstrators have said all along; "they are peaceful".

Honestly, do you really believe forcibly removing these people is a good idea, or do you think it plays better to your political aspirations to take an opposing stand to Nenshi's strategy?

What aspirations would those be?

As well, say you did remove the toilets, tents, etc. and the protesters stayed, where are they going to go to the bathroom? All other elements of your idea aside, removing the toilets is a terrible idea.

There's an app for that.

I'd bet any money Nenshi and his team have a drop-dead date circled on the calendar and if the weather hasn't booted the protesters by then, Nenshi will do it. My guess is that would be by mid-December, but maybe by November 30. Since them being there really doesn't matter to anybody, another week, two, three or six isn't going to matter since winter is coming anyway.

Oh, so handle it like snow removal. If no chinook by X date we will send out the plows.
The issue is the precedent this is setting. The next groups that do this will be far more organized and will definitely be a bigger mess to resolve.
