Gas ATTACK, Globe EXPLODES, Cops FAIL, Premier Resigns - Episode 6

It’s April 2001 and the anti-globalization movement was peaking, but we didn’t know that. 80 000 enthusiastic protesters from across civil society converge on Quebec City for the FTAA, Free Trade of the Americas Agreement, but are met with an army of cops, special forces and an enormous amount of severely toxic tear gas

In October thousands more gathered in downtown Toronto to Shut Down Bay Street. Message delivered; message received. The Premier resigned that day.
