Crucial read on the deteriorating rights of protest in Canada.
Toronto police, using a "fully-integrated intelligence sharing model getting fed information by RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team and CSIS," are surveilling, arresting, filing bogus charges, etc.
We’re exposing the full scope of a Toronto Police operation targetting pro-Palestine activism.
Night raids, surveillance, cultivating informants, crashing university lectures, and trumped-up “hate crime” charges—all to "incapacitate" a growing movement.
