CBC investigative series "the fifth estate" aired an episode on February 25th about regular people's experiences during the 2010 G20 Summit.  

From the episode's description: "They were the most unlikely of troublemakers. There were thousands of ordinary citizens on the streets at Toronto G20 Summit marching peacefully until the police closed in and shut them down. Many had gone downtown simply to see what was going on, only to find themselves forcibly dragged away by police and locked up for hours in a makeshift detention center without timely access to lawyers or medical treatment....the stories you'll hear will raise questions about what protest means in this country and what the limits to dissent have become."

The show's website also has a space where people can upload their G20 stories, photos, and videos, some of which will be used in a future episode. 

The fifth estate has also posted an 8-part interview with police chief Bill Blair concerning the actions of the police during the summit.

And I thought I lived in a country with laws, silly me.
