Rochester Indymedia journalist, Dawn Zuppelli, was interrogated and detained for over an hour by the Canadian Border Services Agency...on her way to cover protests at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver...[She] was tagged for further interrogation and funneled off to a check point area...[and] was taken into a separate room with other agents and passengers. The room was outfitted with sterile metal desks, two sided mirrored window rooms, and plenty of customs officers donning bullet proof vests and latex gloves...["]You are here to protest and we know that."

Many of Canada’s athletes were bitterly disappointed [by the boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games] in 1980, but our country’s authorities assured them that the rights of the people of Afghanistan were worth the sacrifice of their athletic ambitions...Thirty years later, it is the United States, Canada, and the other NATO countries that are occupying Afghanistan. Instead of a boycott, the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are being used to promote militarism in general and Canada’s role in the occupation of Afghanistan in particular.
