Our budget is over $500,000, so this is an enormous undertaking that requires all the public support we can muster. My view is that all of us have to ask ourselves what we&rsquo;ll do with our money if we end up in a police state.&rdquo; <br><br> The opening event at the University of Toronto&rsquo;s Convocation Hall on May 30 will feature speaker Mike Ruppert, American author\/journalist and Thierry Meyssan, bestselling French author. They will be joined by a representative of the families who lost members on September 11th.  <br><br> \tThat will be followed 8 days later by screenings of related films, from June 7-10, at the Bathurst Street Theatre, where all subsequent events will also be held. <br><br> &ldquo;The inquiry proper, from June 11-13, will call on experienced 9\/ll researchers from Canada, the U.S. and Europe,&rdquo; says Zwicker, &ldquo;in plenary sessions examining the many anomalies of the official version of 9\/11. In fact, one presenter will focus on listing just the 60 leading anomalies of that day.&rdquo;  <br><br> Among invited and confirmed presenters are  <br>  <br> Michael C.
