Toronto Police Service Twitter Post: Protests

 

 
 
Disturbing videos have emerged of protesters being arrested and dispersed across downtown Toronto.
To be clear, protesting is a fundamental freedom guaranteed under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Reopening Ontario Act does not suspend the right to protest (see section 7.0.2 of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act).
Very clearly the Toronto Police Service obstructed the public from exercising the fundamental right to protest. The Reopening Ontario Act must be in accordance with our Charter Rights. Back on June 6th, 2020, Toronto Police Operations sent out a tweet indicating that very point. “Everyone has the lawful right to peacefully protest.” No legislation has changed to supersede this right since that tweet.
