It's been just over a year since the gates of "Torontonamo Bay"...finally closed. During that weekend, the largest police deployment in Canada's history...led to gunpoint raids, dozens of activists facing years of legal battles, and emerging stories of threats, homophobia, and sexual harassment..."These incidents are not isolated -- they are integral to policing...Until we produce a world that does not contain or produce police and prisons, we will never live in a world without violence or imagine alternatives."
