G20 / International Monetary Fund / World Bank Protests

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. November 17, 2001.

One of 3 groups of protesters leave from the University of Ottawa and walk up Laurier, only to get blocked by riot police at the bridge. The Department of National Defence (DND) is the building to the right.

Police videotape the crowd from DND.

Police block the bridge. They come from the buses.

Protestors on Nicholas Street. Taken from MacKenzie King bridge.

Protestors at the Chateau Laurier / War Memorial / Congress Centre area. This is only a fragment of the crowd... an aerial shot sure would have been nice to get. I'm sure the cops have plenty from their new little surveillance plane (confiscated from drug traffickers).

Got in really close to the police lined up to block Wellington towards Parliament Hill. Note the big tear gas gun.

Police State. 'This is what democracy looks like.' Riot cops lined up, with Parliament Hill in the background.
