Toronto’s G-20 “Free Speech” Zone

[Benny2guns]

CTV News has learned of a plan to try to keep activists far away from the G20 meetings at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre this June, by creating a designated protest zone in Trinity Bellwoods Park.

The park is located roughly 2 kilometres away on Queen Street.

Police spokesperson Meaghan Gray would not say whether officials are expecting violent protests.

“I don’t know what we are expecting,” she told CTV Toronto. “We are strongly encouraging anyone who wants to protest during the G20 to use that location.”

It’s not the first time a designated protest zone has been created for the G20. Last year, police used the same tactic in London.

One woman who lived in London at the time, and who now resides in Toronto near Trinity Bellwoods, says she can understand the reasoning behind the zone.

i think it's fair. this way people will be able to protest and and others will be able to go about their work.

i see where someone said it's a park where kids play.
i think thats simply pathetic. i'm sure everyone in the are will know it's going to be a rally point when the time comes and if they have sense will keep their kids away.

i'm also sure if there is a protest it will be on main stream media as it happens and on an infowars vid a week later with a few write overs as to why ten protesters were shot and how all the g 20 participants were being blackmailed.
