Things have all gone to hell downtown Toronto this weekend. The G20 is having their summit which ends Monday I think and of course you have the circus that follows it in terms of protests and bad street theatre.
While I'm a fan of free speech and its peaceful expression, I am not a fan of the random destruction done by anarchists. Watching video footage on Facebook and the local newscasts I am sad to see the path of destruction down Yonge St.,King and Bay and along Queen and Spadina.
A little note to those who organized the Anti-G20 protest here in Toronto, you should have been very careful who you got into bed with. By not condemning violence and property damage, you have aligned yourself with Black Bloc and other anarchist factions in the minds of people you are attempting to reach and failing.
Damaging local businesses which provide jobs to make an incoherent political statement is not cool and cheering on those who do it, even less so. It's my hope as many of the anarchists are arrested as possible.
I want my city back.
