I demand a full official G20 Public Enquiry, with the jurisdiction to ask all fundamental questions and the authority to compel the answers. I wanted to take my family to peacefully protest that weekend but I was too scared. Where is our democracy? Where are my rights and freedoms as a Canadian I am supposed to be entitled to?<br /><br />What we need is a full public inquiry, we need a judicial inquiry, we need an independent inquiry, we need an inquiry with full powers to hear sworn evidence, subpoena witnesses and compel the production of all relevant documents. I demand this.<br /><br />• There needs to be a Commission of Inquiry into abuses of individual rights and freedoms by the G20 Integrated Security Unit. <br /><br />• There needs to be an investigation into the options, risk analysis, and decision-making that led to the G20 Summit being held in Toronto Ontario. <br /><br />• There needs to be an investigation into imputed G8-related spending in federal ridings held by CPC Members of Parliament.<br /><br />• There needs to be an investigation into all G8/G20-related expenditures made without a tender process.<br /><br />• There needs to be a plain English explanation of all agreements and commitments made by the Government of Canada and opportunity for parliamentary debate and vote before they become binding on Canada.<br /><br />Thanking you in advance for your attention to this matter.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Canadian Nobody<br />Address<br />City, Province<br />Postal Code<br />Tel No.<br /><br /><br />cc:<br /><br />Stephen Harper - Prime Minister of Canada, Harper.S@parl.gc.ca,<br />Michael Ignatieff – Leader of the Liberal Party, Ignatieff.M@parl.gc.ca,<br />Gilles Duceppe - Leader of the Bloc Québécois, Duceppe.G@parl.gc.ca,<br />Jack Layton - Leader of the New Democratic Party, Layton.J@parl.gc.ca,<br />Elizabeth May - Leader of the Green Party of Canada, leader@greenparty.ca,<br />Marjory LeBreton - Leader of the government in the Senate, lebrem@sen.parl.gc.ca,<br />Dalton McGuinty - Premier of Ontario, dmcguinty.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org,<br />Rob Ford - Mayor of Toronto, mayor_ford@toronto.ca<br /><br /><br />--------------------------<br /><br />G20 Trials and the War on Activism<br />http://www.naomiklein.org/articles/2010/11/g20-trials-and-war-activism<br /><br />It is no coincidence the people facing the most serious charges with the most restrictive bail conditions are among the most effective organizers in this country. They are precisely the people who build bridges across traditionally separate communities and constituencies, finding common ground where there was often antipathy before.Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-28049986440625936072011-01-06T21:48:56.286-05:002011-01-06T21:48:56.286-05:00Consider the possibility that Blair may just be th...Consider the possibility that Blair may just be the fall guy in all this. He has insisted he was in charge of policing decisions outside the red zone where G20 leaders were meeting.<br /><br />But was he really? <br /><br />http://www.nowtoronto.com/news/story.cfm?content=175852<br /><br />The Integrated Safety Unit (ISU) charged with summit security, created by the RCMP, was composed of forces – including the OPP and the Canadian military – with greater jurisdictional authority than Toronto police in matters of international security.<br /><br />The summit was a federal undertaking, but under treaty rules that govern the protection of international dignitaries, it’s the province that was called upon to fulfill security obligations.<br /><br />That means all roads lead back to one Julian Fantino, the OPP commish and former Toronto chief who, it is well known, has no love for his successor. (Fantino’s contract expired this month. Word came down Wednesday, July 7, that he will be replaced by Chris Lewis effective August 1.)<br /><br />No one but those inside the G20 command centre in Barrie can know what went on in the crucial moments during the protests Saturday and how plans evolved in response to changing conditions. But it’s clear there was some pushing and shoving between Blair and Fantino.Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-73715044355356371062011-01-06T21:48:16.298-05:002011-01-06T21:48:16.298-05:00WHAT WAS OPP GENERALISSIMO JULIAN FANTINO'S RO...WHAT WAS OPP GENERALISSIMO JULIAN FANTINO'S ROLE IN ALL OF THIS?<br /><br />toronto police have alienated a great many people on their conduct during the G-20 and the conflict in your management may be related to the boss learning that RCMP Chief Superintendent MacNiel took de facto control of policing in the City of Toronto outside of the IPP fenced and secured areas ... I hope not. <br /><br />Chief Bill Blair of the TPS made a public statement that he was always in charge of TO but he also said that he could not get control of his cops for more then 2 hours on Sunday night when the cops were holding several hundred people in the rain (while Blair said he was arguing with someone he did not identify to let the people go) ... if his argument was with MacNiel and not the OPP and Peel Regional Police management, (although most shoulder flashes showed TPS) it would be another serious blow to RCMP reputation the rank and file members do not need.<br /><br /><br />Lot's of speculation on who took control and ordered what on Saturday and Sunday and the OPP has very quietly pointed fingers at the RCMP's MacNiel but it may yet develop that OPP Chief Julian Fantino was calling the shots and interfering with Bill Blair (Fantino's contract was extended by the Ontario cabinet in 2009 until July 2010 after the G-20 so that he could exercise control of Ontario's policing interests at the G-8 and G-20 on the behalf of the Ontario Security Minister/Solicitor General).<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=135629036463012&topic=426Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.com
