Montebello controversy resurfaces

Almost eight months to the day after the last North American Leaders' Summit in Montebello, Que., the New Orleans edition will get underway.

But some critics of the SPP aren't letting go of the events at Montebello. The Communications, Energy, and Paperworkers Union (CEP) recently filed a complaint with the Sûreté du Québec Ethics Commissioner.

At a press conference on April 15, CEP President Dave Coles said he hoped that the complaint would shed light on the circumstances surrounding agent provocateurs that allegedly infiltrated the crowd of demonstrators. He also called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to open a public inquiry into the matter.

As this YouTube video demonstrates, the agent provocateurs did not hide themselves very well. Coles is quite vocal on the recording.
