Commodore Gandolf Cunningham – The police begin to block in protesters at Spadina and Queen Streets, Toronto on June 27.
People in communities across Canada marked Canada Day by protesting against the police aggression and mass protests that occurred during the G20 protests in Toronto.
The protests marked a week of a growing solidarity movement as some Canadians voiced their concerns that police went too far during the Toronto G20 protests when arresting over 900 people, and allegedly attacking compliant detainees. The protests began Monday in Toronto. Protesters have been calling for a public inquiry into the events in that took place in Toronto on June 26 and 27.
Some protests were held on June 30, while others saw people gathered outside of police headquarters in different cities on Canada Day. Vancouver has planned a protest for the upcoming weekend.
Protests took place in Ottawa, Windsor, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal on Canada Day. Toronto activists are calling for the resignation of police Chief Bill Blair.
The protesters are angry over what they feel has been a violation of human rights by police over the G20 weekend in Toronto. After rioters ran amok on June 26, police arrested over 900 people on June 27. Many detainees have stepped forward claiming they were deliberately harmed by the police while in detention. Some activists have alleged that people were being arrested by the police before the G20 demonstration marches ever got started.
