Given what went down, especially with respect to the attacks on fellow journalists, independent and otherwise, I happily signed on to this 'Statement of Support for Toronto G8/G20 Arrestees.'
A few related resources to check out:
- 'The fourteen essential G20 videos' (via The Torontoist)
- My article for IPS, 'As Canada's Democracy Trembles, a New Global Architecture Emerges.'
- Jon Elmer's piece for Al Jazeera, 'Canada's Brewing 'Insurgency'' (timed to coincide with the G8/G20, but with much broader implications).
- The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is calling for an independent inquiry into the actions of the cops, among other things, and has a petition for the outraged to sign.
