A Brief Foreword by Niagara At Large publisher Doug Draper
The shocking scenes that unfolded on the streets of Toronto, Ontario four years ago – in the late days of June leading up to Canada Day in 2010 – epitomize the worst we have to face in Canada with the autocratic federal government of Stephen Harper, and the then morally bankrupt provincial government of Dalton McGuinty.
Both Harper and McGuinty never off-loaded a hint that they gave the thread of damn about how mostly peace abiding Canadians were being treated in those streets during a G20 summit, where world leaders met and negotiated deals we were never made privy to.
Harper and McGuinty employed cops from all over the country for hundreds of millions of our tax dollars to keep the rest of us away, at whatever cost to our civil rights, from what our leaders were doing to broker deals for their corporate partners.
As long as I live, as a native, once-proud Canadian, I will never forget the episoide you can find online in a youtube thing of one young person just wanting to walk down the streets of Toronto without his bag being searched and a cop going after his bag and saying; ‘You are not in Canada now.’
Wow, where are we then Mr. Harper? In Putin’s Russia? In North Korea? Where to next in this once land of the brave and free, sir?
Here are the first few lines of a piece an online citizens group called CDNPoli and we will provide the link for the rest of it for you to click on before you go to a Canada Day fireworks display.
Toronto G20, 4 years later: 18 disturbing facts all Canadians should know
The Toronto G20 Summit of June 26-27, 2010, hosted by Stephen Harper, was an incredibly expensive undertaking that resulted in massive human rights violations against members of the public at the hands of the police. Despite this, politicians refuse to call a full public inquiry and hold police—as well as themselves—to account … something to think about on the 4th anniversary of the Toronto G20, and as we approach this year’s Canada Day celebrations.

And you know what?……They will still vote for Harper in the next election and we all know they still voted Liberal in Ontario, Kathleen Wynne being no different that Dalton McSquinty…..
Until voters give their heads a really good shake, we will continue to have more problems with these arrogant politicians, maybe problems worse than the G20 summit ever was….

Except for the innocent bystanders like John Pruyn, who were snared in a dragnet by the worst of over-zealous and gung-ho gladiator cops, order must be organized and maintained in an effort to combat the relentless and destructive protest factions of the Left, which are populated by professional trouble-makers, often imported for specifically devious and disruptive purposes. G-20 summits collaborators, Green Peace misadventurers, and gangs who overturn and burn police cars because their favourite NHL hockey team lost (or won) the Stanley Cup championship, must be guarded against. If that’s the sort of reaction the people on the street put forth simply because we have Stephen Harper as Canada’s PM, I’m wondering why we don’t get any similarly adverse reactions because the deceptive and costly Liberals now have a Majority in Ontario.
