One year after the G20 Summit protests in Toronto, Canadians are still waiting for someone to take responsibility for the policing and governance of June 25-27, 2011.
As political parties and local candidates campaign for your vote, CJFE encourages you to take the time to ask your candidates about their stance on critical free expression issues. Week One, ask your candidates if they support a public inquiry into the G20 Summit.
