Dr. Dawg: ‘Toronto the Police State’ (and beyond)

Dr. Dawg has been doing a yeoman’s job of exposing the horrors of the post G20 police state of Toronto. Run don’t walk to Dawg’s Blawg for a sobering 15-minute video of what has become of Toronto.

Myself, I don’t think the police state is relegated to Toronto. Under the Conservative government, the violence against innocent citizens demonstrated in Toronto can only spread to other cities in Canada. The appalling overuse of force combined with authoritarian paranoia is catching.

How long before we will see this kind of police state tactics in Montreal, St. John’s or Vancouver? Without the media’s watchful eye on the abuses of Toronto’s police force, how will Canadians ever know what is really happening in their cities?

It shouldn’t just be up to bloggers to report and comment on such a huge shift in the methods used by our police forces to intimidate and marginalize its citizens. The media must do its job, too.
