NewscastMedia.com — Ten of Toronto’s most wanted have been listed for vandalism and violence on a list, and the Toronto police is asking the public to help them identify the protesters.

The protests occurred during the G8 and G20 Summits especially the June 26 two-day G20 summit. Det.-Sgt. Gary Giroux said, “They are individuals who are not suspects, they are people who are wanted for criminal offenses and the only difficulty that the investigative team has is that, at this point, we don’t know who they are. So we are seeking the assistance of the public to identify them.”

Giroux said, the investigative team has amassed 14,000 images and 500 videos of the protests, and urged the public to send them more information. Meanwhile, the group Canadians Advocating Political Participation held its own news conference Wednesday afternoon to call for a federal public inquiry of police actions during the protest. http://www.newscastmedia.com/g20-most-wanted-list.htm

Canadians march in protest of the G8 and G20 summits

Newscast Media — Newly elected British Prime Minister will face his first political test when he attend the G8 and G20 summits this week in Canada. Already facing the BP oil spill, the economic crisis, and the war in Afghanistan, Cameron will address a global coalition of nations how he plans to contain these crises.

He meets with Obama on Saturday for bilateral talks and it will be the first time the two leaders have met face-to-face since Cameron’s election. The summit is known to draw protests from those who believe the world leaders are attempting to form a one world government.

The Toronto police is on standby and have already arrested a 37-year old female protester for possession of an explosive device.

The G8 meeting begins Thursday, June 24, in Huntsville Ontario and will be followed by the G20 meeting that will take place in Toronto over the weekend. http://www.newscastmedia.com/g8summit.htm
