My Predictions

Will anyone involved in protesting against General Motors be arrested in Canada this week?

Settled as No

No arrests made.

Background:

An Ontario Superior Court judge has chastised General Motors Corp. for announcing the shutdown of a truck plant in Oshawa, Ont., two weeks after signing a new contract with the Canadian Auto Workers that contained commitments that the plant would be kept open.

Mr. Justice David Salmers granted an injunction yesterday ordering the union to end a blockade of the company's Canadian head office and limit its pickets to 20 people, but said the auto maker "should not be rewarded for improper conduct."

So instead of ordering an immediate end to the protest, Judge Salmers will allow it to continue this weekend before restricting the union to 20 pickets beginning at 7 a.m., Monday.
