That was really nice looking horse flesh, though, the cops were mounted on to ride down the protesters.

In Pittsburgh, the protesters used horse manure as missiles. I hate to see good fertilizer go to waste.

Maybe something pleasant grew where the manure landed. We can hope!

I am watching the Fifth Estate on CBC about what went on with the protests and the "police"... I am struck dumb... how could that SHIT happen in Canada? Unreal. Unacceptable. Harper should be held personally accountable for that crap.

And, in the middle of the show they broke to a press conference of him condemming Gaddafi... Jausus H!!! It's sickening. Truly sickening.

Now, there wasn't any wholesale murder, but I really don't know how that prick can sleep at night without taking responsibility for what happened and setting things right.

Police actions in Ontario are a provincial responsibility; Harper can condemn, but cannot be personably responsible.

Good point, Q. I was just toooo upset when I posted. As always, you are the voice of reason.

I was pissed at the "protesters" while it was on the go, but the Fifth Estate piece was truly shocking.

A few broken heads might help to discourage the action of anarchists and thugs next time around.

Would Ontario also be responsible for the out of province police (Quebec, and N.B.) who were helping with the crowd control and security?

Q ... I think Muammar Gaddafi would whole heartily agree with you on that statement above.

Nothin' but the best for Canadian citizens . . .

Number 6- Yes, they were under the supervision of Ontario police.

The vandals at the G-20 were not fighting for rights but to disrupt a peaceful meeting of world leaders, damage the premises of Toronto merchants, and interfere with the business of the general public.

Sorry Q, despite what you would like to believe the VAST majority were protesting peacefully as is their right under Canadian law. Most of those who broke the law were police officers and hopefully they will be prosecuted as an example to those who think they can impudently abuse innocent people. The call for an inquiry is among recommendations in the report — by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and National Union of Public and General Employees — which is aimed at holding governments accountable and avoiding a recurrence.

Sorry, bobad.......... but most of those who broke the law were not police officers, but hooligans smashing windows, cars, and interfering with police work. There are plenty of videos, shown on TV, and used in making later arrests, showing these cretins.

The 'peaceful' protestors interferred with business, wasted thei own time and the publics, and were kept well clear of the G-20 leaders and their meetings.

Here Q, don't listen to me, read the report in it's entirety. The widespread and violent trampling of civil rights by the police is well documented therein.

The bastards that decided to spend a billion dollars for security in the midst of Canada's largest city are wholly to blame! This fiasco could have been held on a military base at next to no cost with sufficient security already in place. Harper's thugs are a total disgrace to anyone believing themselves to be peace officers! They acted like the bloody Gestapo!

Well, after that Toronto fiasco, I am now part owner of a 1.2 million dollar man-made lake. I want you two to know that you`re welcome to come any time you want. But PLEESE, do NOT pee in the water.

Bruce, it needs a sign like what I once seen in a campground:

Please help us keep it that way!

I wonder if the pool still exists? I rather doubt it.

BTW, the pool only costed $57k, which is a "fuck me!" amount for a small puddle ankle deep. The rest of the $2+M was for the deck chairs.

The bastards had the nerve to say "it was ONLY $57k"???

Sandy for PM I say!

The troublemakers are often recruited by and sometimes are the undercover cops to incite disturbances and give an excuse to break the demonstration.

The reason that the G20 is being targeted has to do with the policies surrounding the treatment of poor countries (abusive lending practices) and environmental policies that are destructive. Also, slave labor in foreign countries with the eradication of unions, there.

Who the so-called anarchists are is unclear.

Remember that this was a suggestion made in Wisconsin by the Governor who considered breaking that demonstration by introducing troublemakers but for political reasons passed on it. He thought that it would put too much sympathy
on the side of the Union and against his tyrannical bill.

I would be more than happy to put my name forward for PM! However under our constitution it requires me to lead a political party, so I am afraid that I have a problem with kissing enough arses to meet that qualification. In any case I appreciate the endorsement!

I've never met you Sandy, but having heard some of the lyrics you write I'd have a real problem seeing you as a person more worried about his hair than the country.

The Rhino Party might be the thing for you.

I'm likely going to vote Bloc in the next election. The MP from the area I live in is Claude Debellefeuille. I'll vote for her because she's honest. I'm fed up with crooks in government. I dislike the Bloc's language policy which just tries to strip English speakers of their language rights, but she's honest. That's a good enough reason to support a politician these days. Sad--but true.

A lot of the time, the Bloc are more "Canuck" than Harper.

Just an observation... I ain't gettin into a discussion.
