Several gather in Toronto to mark G20 anniversary

Hundreds of people marked the one year anniversary of the G20 riots in Toronto by holding a rally at the Ontario legislature today.


Demonstrators renewed a call for a public inquiry into police actions at the summit and for the resignation of Toronto police chief Bill Blair.
Some held signs with slogans like – “Canada is not a police state” and “Public inquiry now.”
The protesters are marching through downtown Toronto but there are few signs of the kind of trouble that erupted a year ago.
Last June, police arrested more than 11-hundred people during the G20 protests but most were released without being charged or had their charges withdrawn or dismissed.
Thirty-nine protesters reported being injured during the arrests while 97 officers were hurt in a rampage that saw police cars set on fire and store windows smashed.
