Abstract:

Working in conjunction with the Council of Canadians as well as OPIRG Peterborough, the object of this research project was to determine the laws and legal implications surrounding public protest as well as what information in regards to these laws needs to be clarified. How the laws have changed in the past 20 years and what went wrong in the Toronto 2010 G20 summit were also questions of interest in this research project.
