Whose dumb idea was it to hold this in TO in the 1st place? Plenty of wide open spaces in the north and security wouldn't cost billions to boot. Whoever planed this WANTED protests.
Hmmmm.......gonna have to think hard about that one. Who stands to benefit the most from negative media reports under this circumstance. Geee.......that's a stumper!
Won't play that way in the swing ridings, kenmore. Instead, it'll be something like 'see what them Liberal and NDP-voting types do to the law? Give us a majority and we'll show 'em justice'. Or something to that effect.
Why else would you fuck up the downtown core of the country's largest city for something that could've been held virtually anywhere else and amounted to a news blip? There be manipulation, me ol' son.
The real protest to this should be at the ballot box in the next election... oust the harger regime before we have a police state!
Love the hypocrasy. It's the Ontario Liberals that gave the officers special arresting powers. In the entire history of this great nation called Canada, the LIBERAL party remains the only party to enact the war measures act.
But don't let something as trivial as facts get in the way with your left wing tirade.
Yes Arrow, I know it's tough to poke holes in obvious facts.
Wasn't it Liberals that claimed that the Conservatives were too close to Americans. Where did Iggy spend most of his adult life again? And wasn't he the one that praised the Iraq war and the use of torture in Gitmo.
We'll just dimiss these facts and paint Harper as some dictator.
Nothing. That was the whole point. Designated protest area me ass.
There is no "designated protest" area.
Peaceful protest is ok, not so the thugs dressed in black.
So you think it's peaceful these idiots are carrying sticks, bricks, flares etc. Oh sorry forgot, it must be my Dickensian lickspittle character coming to the surface.
If Fantino was still Chief, we could have had martial law, and these bastards in black would be shot and beaten and then thrown in jail, if they survive.
But....we have Bill Blair, who is a nice guy, and a big pussy wearing a cop's uniform. Until he grows a pair, these anarchists will have free reign, destroying more of our beautiful city.
