Dan Dicks | Ombudsman Report on the G20 Summit shows authorities illegally used wartime legislation.
On December 7th 2010 Ontario Ombudsman Andre Martin released his final report on the G20 summit in Toronto Canada. “Caught in the Act” focuses on the misuse of a wartime regulation known as the Public Works Protection Act which led to the largest mass arrest in Canadian history and a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
“For the citizens of Toronto the days up to and including the weekend of the G8 and G20 will live in infamy as a time period where martial law set in the city of Toronto leading to the most massive compromise of civil liberties in Canadian history and we can never let that happen again” – Andre Martin.
