"I would have liked to see us use our collective strength - having a couple hundred people here today - to take the march where we want it to go," said protester Cole Webber, who was disappointed by the decision to comply with police orders. "It's our march, we have the numbers to take the street." photo by Shayna George

"Where are G8 leaders when the International Monetary Fund and World Bank force governments in poor countries to slash the social safety net?" asks march organizer Kaley Kennedy. G8 countries account for only 14 per cent of the world's population but control the majority of the world's wealth and almost half the votes at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). photo by Shayna George
