We live in Toronto, Ontario Canada, and our lives for the last 2-3 days have been upside down because of the g20 summit. Downtown is a total right off, our transit system is completely disrupted and the city spent over 1 billon dollars for this whole mess. Not to mention they build a fake lake so that reporters can pretended to be at the g8 meeting which took place earlier in the week up north in Ontario; they were not allowed near the location. Why build a fake lake? Hello! We live in Ontario, where there are many lakes within a 30 minute drive from Toronto. Oh and then not even keep it around after, just destroy it. Disgusting waste of money.
Now my whole reason for this rant, is all the people over Facebook and Twitter calling out the Protestors for causing all of this. Realistically it is the FEA and the Black Bloc who are causing any vandalism or violence, which makes up for a fraction of the population who are actually there rallying and peacefully protesting. Here is a perfect example of a group of peaceful protestors. I'll let you be the judge of who was the violent group here.
