So in Toronto we have this event happening now called G8 and G20.You have probably heard of it, it’s when all major world leaders come together to discuss some key issues. Sounds good right? Having a bunch of people talking about how to change the world into a better place? Apparently some people disagree and choose to protest, as a result the governemt has spent 1.1 billion dollars on security of this summit.

This 1.1 billion dollars was a reason for more people to protest. CP24 had some hippy protest lady explain. “Every time we spend more and more money on security and we don’t get more and more crime.” Well miss hippy, do you think that maybe because we spend more money we don’t get more crime? She later went on to say “at worst these protestors will smash a few windows, but that’s about it.” In my opinion destroying shit isn’t a peaceful protest.

The same lady also talked about police abusing their power: taking things that could be used as weapons, looking into suspicious people, hitting the protestors, none of which were EVER reported before. The police are also using something called sound canons which apparently can cause hearing loss. Protestors are trying to sue the police to stop using them. In reality, the protestors should simply not get violent.
