G20 Review finds police unprepared

An after-action review of the Toronto police and associated police forces actions during the G20 protests last year has found the police were unprepared and overwhelmed by the scope and intensity of what they faced.

The report, which was posted yesterday afternoon on the Toronto police website, was written by unidentified senior Toronto officers, as well as civilians who reviewed footage of the event.

It points out a number of critical weaknesses in the police strategy.

There's only one thing BVST host Angelica likes more than rock 'n roll... Is it grilled meat? Maybe. No, it's the other awesome hosts that make up CJLO's Wednesday evening lineup!

We could try and write something funny about this week's DJ of the week, maybe  even tell you all the embarrasing behind the scene stories and inside jokes (gauntlets and goblets anyone). Instead we thought it best to just let you get to know them through their questionnaire.

Without futher ado, this week's DJ of the Week; host of Charts & Crafts: Erica "Ricky Fish" Fisher

West Island watering ban

Residents of several West-Island municipalities will have to forgo watering their lawns until further notice. Municipal officials announced a complete watering ban on Tuesday. 

The affected boroughs are Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Île Bizard, Ste. Geneviève and Dollard des Ormeaux. These municipalities rely on the city of Montreal water filtration plant on Rivière des Prairies. However, according to Pierrefonds-Roxboro spokesperson Johanne Palladini, this filtration plant is currently under some stress. The plant is undergoing a major expansion that has temporarily reduced its capacity.
