Last minor updates December 13, 2007.
We did not have any information in, about the demonstration in downtown Toronto.

We did go down, and we saw where the protesters staged a picket line at subway entrances, asking commuters to "re-route" to the nearest accessible station, eg. to experience some of the inconvenience that many people have to deal with on a daily basis.  Several transit routes and subway stations etc. in Toronto are currently not accessible.

We did notice members of the Toronto police service rudely
shoving some of the protesters out of the way of commuters.

The protesters had the red "access denied" banner with them, the long one that we last saw at Queen's Park in late September.
There did not appear to be much in the way of television coverage but if you typed in a search string like "D.A.M.N. odsp" in Altavista, there seemed to be reasonably good coverage of the group. Again this information is from late 2007.
