Saturday, June 25, 2011 will mark one year since the G20 Summit in downtown Toronto, the biggest mass arrests in Canadian peace time history and an unprecedented degree of infringement of individual civil liberties and fundamental freedoms. These issues have not been resolved. Much remains to be done to shed light on what really did happen during that fateful summer weekend, why it happened and ensuring that it never happens again.

The police and governments of Toronto, Ontario and Canada, have now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they THINK can literally round up hundreds of citizens, gathered together to exercise their Charter rights to protest, for no real, legal or discernible reason.

Suspension of civil liberties -- innocent residents and peaceful protesters were snatched off the streets and thrown in a cages, in many cases without access to legal counsel and in a few cases after being threatened or physically harmed by the police services. Arrested citizens then have to bear the cost of trying to defend themselves.

If the police acted illegally where is the accountability? The citizens of this city again have to bear the cost of trying to prove that.
