I don't mind paying a few extra [Canadian] tax dollars to deal with smartarses like the example shown here--he may speak as softly and politely as he wants, but he isn't kidding anyone. The examples of interactions show that many were not willing to cooperate with the police or private security (on private property) -- infact they lied (whether it is lawful or not)-- yet they then complain when they got exactly what they wanted in the first place -- attention, arrested and hero-status. No sympathy from me I'm afraid. I, for one, am glad I live in Canada, where my private property and my private business dealings are valued.
 
So i guess you didnt watch the whole video so you can see that the "anarchists" were actually cops and the cars that were burned were left in areas so that they could be burned by these cops in front of CCTV and Media crews. These "public servants" are worthless pieces of crap. I am SO glad I am not a Canadian, you could not pay me to live in a socialistic police state like that.
 
Pixel, don't knock where people live. I love my country and I'm happy I have the social services I have. Canada ranks high in quality of life in every study of that kind. Unless that some sort of conspiracy. You probably think it is.
 
The G20/policing issues were not Canada's finest hour. I had seen other videos on Youtube describing some of the mass arrests and 'kettling' techniques used by the police. It was a pretty appaling situation. No, Canada is not a police state by any stretch of the imagination. Instead most of these issues I would ascribe to a as mainly due to a complete failure in leadership in the upper police ranks, especially Toronto metropolitan, OPP, and in part, the mounties.
I have no special information in this regard, but I have spoken to one mountie officer who completely agrees with this view. There is no police state/conspiracy here, just mainly lack of leadership. As these things usually go in Canada, it normally gets quietly swept under the rug.

Canada is a great country, the people that live there and do not question the tactics of the law enforcement as shown in this documentary should be ashamed.
 
BTW Angelo, I did not knock where you live. I will mock you tho for not being ashamed for the way these protests were handled and for the way the police allowed the "Black Bloc" (cops dressed in black) to destroy property then guard them. I pity you and others who turn a blind eye to these actions.

You have to realize thought that that's not the normal case here, right?

right you are, but it will be "the normal case" soon if you do not protest this behavior.

I'm not too worried. I looked up the dude that posted the video. Another crusader trying to get the "truth" about WTC 7 out there. Not exactly someone who I can trust with any sort of journalistic integrity and unbiased film-making.
 
Gotta love it, when yanks start criticising other countries police, most Americans have no concept of irony.

A country where you cannot walk the city streets at night, in any form of safety.
 
You're quite right, I apologize, I didn't watch the whole thing. But after seeing the naughty schoolboy smiles, smugness and gafaws of the maker; and his Candid Camera outwitting of the security the guard with his MI-5 schtick, it became too painful to watch him proudly display how smart he is -- so I did skip through it quite a lot.

You watched a 2-hour documentary scripted, staged, filmed, edited and produced by someone with an agenda. I have lived here 30 years -- I think I'll be the judge. There's nothing wrong with questioning authority -- but questioning for the sake of it -- and for your own ends -- makes me wonder where the true conspiracy actually lies. The only thing I am ashamed about is the sheep-like following of Canadians when the foreign antagonists set them a task. There may have been entrapment; but if there is it must be a world-wide conspiracy of law enforcement -- in the past little while I've seen quite a few police cruisers set on fire all over the world.

In answer to your first response to me Pixelsmith. Ouch!

You are correct. This documentary was produced by someone with an angenda... his agenda was documenting the AGENDA of the G20 and the AGENDA of the security forces, and the AGENDA of the cops dressed as "black bloc" anarchists.

I fully agree with you on this one ~pixie. I've seen the G20-policing videos; some done by people with an obvious anti-G7 agenda and others without an obvious agenda. Either way, they showed facts on the ground from which it is quite obvious our police grossly mis-handled the protests. Toronto metro police did admit to making mistakes during the G20 summit. So it's not as though police here haven't been questioned about their tacticts. It's just whether there will be a significant outcome from this introspection that's questionable.
