Canada calling: They may face criminal charges, according to The Chronicle Herald. The group issued a manifesto denouncing immigration policies in Canada and calling for an end to deportations. They were apprehended for alleged mischief and assault, while another protester was nabbed outside in connection with an incident involving a police vehicle. While most of the protesters entered the downtown building, some chose to stay outside to chant about legislation they say is needed for undocumented immigrants. Most of the infiltrators left the premises but about 20 people stayed behind. Montreal police spokesman Manuel Couture said authorities were contacted at around 9 a.m. and that an eviction notice was read out two hours later. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
