TORONTO (December 7, 2010) The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services quietly promoted the use of a likely illegal regulation to grant police "extravagant" powers on the eve of the G20 summit, Ontario Ombudsman André Marin says in his latest report.

canadian media are not doing their jobs.

thank you ombudsman, for doing THEIR job

[Elefantter]

What he talks about around 21:00 - that the government planned and premeditated NOT to communicate

what authority it was relying on, to execute searches, to arbitrary detain citizens.

Doesn't that sound like the government somehow were planning to commit crimes through the police ?

[Tzimnewman3]

Its good to see that Canada has hope
