Pneumatised!

Here are tweets from rabbleca yesterday regarding the “Jail Solidarity Rally”. They are protesting against the illegal arrests and detention of hundreds of peaceful people this past weekend. RT @HiMYSYeD: It’s Midnight… NOW we can walk near any damn fence we feel like in #Toronto without fear. #g20 p.s. Sleep Well. about 4 hours ago…

Here’s a few more videos that I hadn’t had time to post on here. These are courtesy of the Torontoist. Video of cops refusing people entrance into a public park – from Torontoist’s G20 Live: Friday. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12859130&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1 G20 – Allan Garden Protests from Torontoist on Vimeo.

Okay, I think my retweeting finger has just about fallen off. I’ve barely gotten any sleep this weekend, but what has been happening – the trampling on civil liberties and human rights – is an important issue and needs to be addressed. For me, foregoing a little bit of sleep is nothing compared to what…

This blogger was really tired today trying to keep up with all the news. Following are some news articles from this morning, highlights from them, and some updates relating to these stories: “Two Post photographers arrested at G20 protest” Brett Gundlock, a staff photographer for the Post, was tackled and taken away by several police…

Here are the updates from my Twitter tonight, again in reverse chronological order. (Sorry, I only had time to reorder the other tweets further down in this article!) Again, please ignore the time stamps, I’ve been working on this blog since I’ve copied those in here. Some of my tweets are plurks (my Plurk profile…

Just watched this video involving illegal detention, illegal search, and illegal seizure (they took his goggles!) Even according to Ont. Reg. 233/10, Allen Gardens is NOT declared a “public work” and this guy does have a right to enter the park. Good for this guy for standing up against this (and note that his is…

This is indeed what I’ve been concerned with, escalating tension leading to police violence, all due to the passing of Ont. Reg. 233/10, which gives the police more power and authority as per the PWPA. I am strongly against the use of the PWPA as a way to invoke emergency powers for the police. I…

I was getting tired as I was writing my blog earlier. Let’s not forget the “fundamental freedoms” given the CCRF: “2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a) freedom of conscience and religion; (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (c) freedom of peaceful…

Toronto Star‘s article, “Just being near the G20 security zone can get you arrested”, has added more fuel to the fire today as it reveals that a new Ontario regulation came in force on June 21, 2010 without adequate notice to the public. The regulation, Ontario Regulation 233/10 (or Ont. Reg. 233/10), was filed on…
