If you wanna show up at a protest rally that has a historical reputaion of provoking violence, looting, property destruction, etc... ya better be prepared for the consequences of that decision. Shit happens...the cops are not the bad guys here.
T'was a good idea. Searching and detaining the hooligans and wannabe thugs at the UofT likely saved a few more burning police vehicles and smashed store fronts.
Way to go cops!
In fact the feds should do just that. Many store owners would appreciate it if Harper were to fund the fixes for the problem that he created in the first place.
Cheers,
We all know just how far "right" Harper is.
Harper decided on Toronto because he hates Torontonians. Nobody here votes for him. Heaven forbid had he held it in Calgary.
We will never know.
However, this isnt about Liberals or NDP or Conservatives. Its about utter stupidity and wreckless spending during a financial crisis. Should I assume that you think that a billion+ spending of our tax dollars was a good thing?
I'm glad yer glad. The gatherings just shouldnt cost a billion+ of taxpayer money and lost productivity.
Hold it at the UN or have the G20 folks all chip in and build a fortress and hold it there every year. Hell! They can even include a real lake with real fish and mosquitos if they see fit.
Frankly, had the real price been $1 it still would be an idiotic expenditure. This whole downtown Toronto G20 boondogle was utterly thoughtless if not stupid. Harper should have his balls handed to him for this travesty.
If only he would prorogue Parliament again and call an election....sigh...
