Woman held during G20 protest to launch class-action lawsuit
Source: Globe and Mail

Two prominent Toronto law firms are heading up a class-action lawsuit in connection with the G20 summit.

Murray Klippenstein, who is heading up the case along with lawyer Eric Gillespie, wouldn’t say who is being named as defendants in the suit. But a statement released Thursday afternoon said there are more than 800 individuals covered, all of whom “were allegedly wrongfully arrested during the G20 summit at various locations, and never charged with any wrongdoing.”

The representative plaintiff, they said, is a woman who was part of the crowd of protesters, reporters and passersby kettled by police for hours in the rain at the corner of Queen Street and Spadina Avenue on the Sunday evening of the summit weekend.

She will be announcing the class-action suit at Queen’s Park Friday morning.

1. I watched a lot of G20 videos. For a few days, Canada looked like Seattle, Minneapolis, ...
... Pittsburgh, Manhattan.

I'll bet Harper's real proud.

Anybody else remember Bubbles The Cop?

3. Oh, yes. "Officer Bubbles"
He'll be sorry he ever inserted his pig nose into that woman's face and harassed her.

I DO hope that woman is part of the class-action lawsuit.
