G20 SPECIAL: Protesting free speech zones

Read more articles by

Today is the final installment in our week-long G20 Special. A lot remains up for debate but we couldn’t wrap up this particular discussion without drawing attention to the ways our public spaces were divided and designated into zones in order to control protesters (and residents), peaceful and otherwise.

Tor Sandberg is the program director for Rabble TV and was in charge of coordinating their video coverage during the Summit. Sandberg met up with Spacing producer Mieke Anderson at Queen’s Park, which only a few weeks ago was Toronto’s only official protest zone, a.k.a. “designated free speech area.”
