This is the first anniversary of the weekend from hell when Canada hosted the G8 and G20 summits. On a variety of fronts we became a role model other nations will study for years to come. Our peaceable kingdom showed the world how to do absolutely everything wrong.

On November 10, 11 and 12, 2010, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the National Union of Public and General Employees invited members of the public to share their stories about what they experienced during the G20 Summit in Toronto in June 2010. The objectives of these public hearings are:

--to educate Canadians on the importance of the relationship between democracy, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly;

--to increase public awareness regarding the impact of the G20 Summit on constitutional rights and freedoms;
