The billion on security doesn't look that bad when they spent close to $2million on an indoor/fake lake. We have thousands of lakes in this province.
I liked how the Liberals protested the lake money wasting by renting a porta-poo with granite counter tops. lol....politicians...
Yeah. The RCMP hired scabs from the Vancouver Olympics and security forces from Seattle. They hired Blackwater security forces too, it's insane. Sitka - they spent more than $57, 000 (clever Conservative budgeteering) on security measures.
lol That was Tony Clement's shady contract deal with his cousins. The porta-johns aren't even going to be used for the summit - they are going to be used later in the summer for Tony's electoral ridning's fairgrounds. wtf.
Some pictures from sunday morning. Toronto was a ghost town, with like a 1-1 ratio of civilians and police on the street. Tons of utility vehicles, court service vehicles, unmarked cop cars, undercovers (was followed lots, they were pretty bad lol), and big vans packed with 8 foot guys wearing combat gear with automatic weapons. 2-20 cops on every street corner. Anybody with a knapsack or luggage was searched. Profiling galore, obviously. Most stores closed, lots with boarded up windows. Some with smashed windows. Saw a convoy of about 10 trucks packed full of soldiers. Saw the actual g20 convoys leaving too, surrounded by dozens of police vehicles and their own private highway.
Those riots were absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. People's issues were not with the police, they were with the leaders. A bigger difference could be made if those raging against the machine went into politics instead of just smashing windows like thugs. Then tomorrow one of those people gets mugged on the street and the first thing they do is run to a cop. This would be like if I had a problem with Steven Harper so I went to the house of the chief of police and shit on his front doorstep. Utterly redundant. And we all have to pick up the bill. Thanks. These protesters must all be completely incapable of intelligent debate, or are just illiterate, as many well written letters would have a greater effect. That, or as Lloyd Robertson said, they're all just, "tattooed hipsters," just looking for an excuse to rage and be little socialist wannabe's for the day. If you don't like the system, either take an active part in trying to change it, or move elsewhere. Go play Che in Cuba if your that commited to the movement. And none of them even seemed capable of admitting what they were pissed off about in the many interviews with violent protesters. All they'd say were things like, "This is bullshit man!" or "The cops aren't treating us right!" I saw numerous people on the news with "Free Marc Emery" signs. This is G20 alright, not 420. Grow up. That's my rant for the day and it is only an opinion.
Thanks for the photos, Mr. Writer. Toronto is actually one of my favourite cities; I've got family there and always have a wonderful time, but I'm actually glad I wasn't there this past weekend and dealing with all of the hassle.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=19928Quote: Toronto is right now in the midst of a massive government / media propaganda fraud. As events unfold, it is becoming increasingly clear that the 'Black Bloc' are undercover police operatives engaged in purposeful provocations to eclipse and invalidate legitimate G20 citizen protest by starting a riot. Government agents have been caught doing this before in Canada. Montebello 2007 Riot Prevented - Identical Boots Exposed Undercover Police Provocateurs At the ‘Security and Prosperity Partnership’ meeting protests at Montebello Quebec on August 20, 2007, a Quebec union leader caught and outed three masked undercover Quebec Provincial Police operatives dressed as ‘black bloc’ protestors about to start a riot by throwing rocks at the security police. See the following videos documenting this event. Stop SPP Protest - Union Leader stops provocateurs Evidence -- Police provoke Violence at SPP protest The operation was exposed by the following picture of the undercover police wearing combat boots identical to those of the security police arresting them. (Provocateurs in Montebello wear the same shoes as the Quebec policemen who arrest them!)

The Quebec Provincial Police were then forced after three days of public outrage to admit that these three men were indeed their officers operating undercover. Fast Forward to the Toronto 2010 G20 Protest Riot On Saturday June 26, 2010, the Globe and Mail published on their website a number of photographs taken at the afternoon riot in downtown Toronto precipitated by the ‘black bloc.’ Using these photos, I am going to show you that once again, the ‘black bloc’ provocateurs and the armoured police are wearing the exact same shoes. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/g20-day-of-protest/article1619712/ Thanks to the Globe and Mail for these very helpful photos. Starbucks Vandalised Here an operative throws a metal chair through a Starbucks window. This man’s physique doesn’t look like a seedy ‘anarchist’ to me. Rather, this is the fit strong body of a trained soldier – somebody who puts in a lot of regular gym time. He is also wearing what is really a uniform and rather specialized equipment on his forearm and possibly his hip. Unfortunately in this picture we cannot see the shoes being worn. But we certainly can in the picture that follows, and this is where it gets interesting. The Provocateurs’ Combat Boots Below another operative throws what appears to be a rock at another Starbucks window. Take a close look at the upturned boot. This is a brand new (? recently issued) very distinctive deep black colour combat boot. Note as at Montebello, the special thick heavy corrugated soles plus what appears to be some reinforcement of the upper forefoot area. Also note the mismatched black and white socks. Is this a recognition code to their uniformed colleagues? The nice heavy shiny new belt also appears to be part of a uniform. Here is another ‘black bloc’ operative stomping on the roof of a Toronto Police car. Where are the police? He is obviously being “allowed” to trash the vehicle to create what will become the signature media images of the event - burning police cars in Toronto. But stamping on shattered glass and plastic is pretty hard on your shoes. But his shoes can obviously take it because he is wearing the same brand new distinctive black combat boots as the Starbucks rock throwing provocateur above (go to the Globe and Mail url to see the higher resolution original photo). Note the same thick soles with the deep corrugations visible in an enlargement as a scalloping of the front bottom outer edge of the uplifted left shoe. The Armoured Police Boots – They Are The Same Shoes! Now check the uniformed armoured police boots. Note once again the thick heavy corrugated soles and deep black colour. Here is one in close-up. It is clearly the same boot as the ‘black bloc’ provocateurs are wearing. It too is brand new and shiny as in recently issued for today’s duty. Here are more of the armoured police boots. Below is yet a closer view of the armoured police boots. This picture shows the upper part of the shoes more clearly. The police are also wearing what appears to be an additional protective spat module which is strapped on over the shoe’s upper front forefoot area. This looks like an extra equipment add-on to, and not an integral part of, the ‘civilian’ version of the shoe, which is otherwise identical to the police shoes in design, features and colour. And in close-up Canadian "Bureaucratic Economizing" Exposes The Fraud That the ‘black bloc’ provocateurs and the uniformed armoured police are wearing in Toronto (as at Montebello) the identical government issued combat boots, has at least one positive aspect. It looks as if someone in the procurement bureaucracy was at least trying to do some economizing in the spending of the one billion dollars that this G20 fiasco has wrested from the taxpayers. Very sensibly, these bureaucrats wanted to provide the same sturdy combat boots for both the uniformed police officers as well as the undercover ones. How wonderfully Canadian. But this endearing Hobbit-like practicality has also given the game away. The ‘black bloc,’ if they ever existed as an independent entity, have clearly been thoroughly infiltrated by undercover government agents. In classic covert counterinsurgency strategy these agents manipulate the group to commit violent acts which play directly into hidden government controllers' hands. These controllers manipulate public opinion from behind the scenes through the commission of false flag acts of violence (these are acts falsely blamed on scapegoats other than those concealed perpetrators who are actually responsible.) The psychological operation (psyop) is then accomplished through the propaganda fulminations of the completely controlled and complicit mass media. As in so many similar situations in so many other countries in the past, the goal of this combination of violent acts and lying media propaganda is to invalidate any legitimate citizen protest of the many immoral acts being wreaked upon the peoples of the world by our governments. The techniques of imperial control which have been used so successfully overseas are now being fully deployed against the people at home. Deployed against us. As far as our war-addicted governments are concerned, we are all insurgents now. But We Canadians Can Stop the G20 Fraud in Its Tracks As this G20 protest riot fraud continues to unfold, please use your eyes and your cameras to pay attention to small details, like everybody’s shoes! As more and more people wake up from the deceptions being perpetrated upon them, more inconsistencies in the official propaganda story will be noticed. Evidence will tumble forward to expose the whole malignant enterprise even more. We should stop this Riot Fraud in its tracks and demand an immediate investigation. Please forward this article as widely as you can and collectively send it to all our politicians and media to put them on notice that we will no longer allow them to participate in the Toronto G20 riot fraud of 2010. For Canada and for what is good and right and true. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=19928
