"KETTLING" INCIDENTS TRIAL DELAYED



Four days ago (Jan.9/13) the Waterloo Region Record carried the tiniest little update regarding the now infamous "kettling" of mass numbers of honest citizens going about their business in downtown Toronto, two and half years ago. The title of the Record update was "Senior officer's trial delayed in G20 "kettling" incidents". Supt. Mark Fenton faces five charges related to the police boxing in and arresting hundreds of downtown shoppers and tourists during the G20 conference. This behaviour would be shocking in a third world dictatorship but in Canada it should be nothing but front page news and the lack of media detailed coverage to date has been shocking. Are we as Canadians becoming so inured to the assaults upon our civil liberties?
