Evening Star Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 What's outlined in the entire body of the Order-in-Council is the area of downtown that was fenced off. Queen's Park, up at midtown, was the designated protest area. The Ontario government did nothing wrong with this Order-in-Council. The error seems to fall squarely into the lap of those in charge of the integrated security force, who said publicly that the Public Works Protection Act, and the search and arrest powers it gave, had been applied to five metres outside the fence. Whether or not others interpreted it as applying to other parts of the city isn't entirely clear. You seem to be right. Why has McGuinty not explained this the same way you did?

g_bambino Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 You seem to be right. Why has McGuinty not explained this the same way you did? I expect a politician wouldn't want to step on any toes unnecessarily, so he'll always use indirect and convoluted phrasing. He did say, though, that the Cabinet failed to communicate its instructions to the security force in a clear enough manner. Perhaps political correctness got in the way of lucid dialogue there, too.

GostHacked Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 The context of this tells me where you were in the G20 riot--- Hope you end up paying for the rest of your life. I guess you are not understanding the context of it, because I was not there. And in the end, you and I will BOTH have and will continue to pay for the summit.
