Okay people, this G20 Summit causes a big mess everywhere it happens. The people who wear masks, dress in black and vandalized the local business do this everywhere they have the summits in the world, so this really is not about Toronto in any way, nor does it display Toronto Police issues. This is bigger than that, on the world order and the police here do the same thing that the UN has police doing when this takes place all over the world.

The protesters goals are to rally up the locals to start rioting and make a bold statement about their disapproval for the G20 conference.

The problem is that the police barricades are so widespread that the people AT the conferences are protected by the ‘bubble’ anyway and probably don’t watch the news about what happens during the G20. – However the rest of the world DOES. I guess their point is to discourage governments from allowing the talks to happen ‘in their country or city’.

good luck with that.

Apparently although police DID use Tear gas, it was only used in the form of ‘individual tear gas pellets’ as opposed to tear gas canisters used to affect more that one person at a time.
