Don't Talk TV Episode 52: Journalist Arrests and s. 2 of the Charter

Recently staff at the City of Toronto cleared out a "homeless encampment" in one of the parks in downtown Toronto and in the process arrested a member of the press (https://ca.news.yahoo.com/toronto-starts-clearing-another-homeless-120949259.html). This engages some very serious questions about the powers of city employees to arrest people and freedom of the press.
