oh my god, this is a sign of the apocalypse. i actually agree with mmmnaked. . . did someone jack your account? i agree 100%--why didn't the police put the boots to the actual criminals, who numbered less than 150, on saturday? the ones that were clearly garbed entirely in black, and were...

the tps service don't have to be happy with this. in fact, i know a few who were unhappy with the whole g20 thing weeks before it happened. they knew it would be a ****-show. and their public image did take a battering, for some, but clearly not for others as some posters here suggest. the...

that right there makes you, according to some, an idiot deserving of being arrested. you were one of those 'gawkers' by association. you should not have been there, period, in their logic. now how would you feel if you, just standing there, got kettled and then detained? do you really think...

police do have a choice, as witnessed by the acts of some officers that drew a line between right and wrong. there are good cops. they have only charged a small percentage of those responsible. does anyone think that the tps will actually learn from this and, if put into the same situation...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2012/05/17/g20-officers-discipline.html Misconduct charges are expected against 45 Toronto police officers involved in the G20 summit two years ago, including five senior officers, one of them the commander who gave the notorious order to "kettle"...

congrats and mad respect. . .well done!

maybe they were hoping some of the younger generations would give a damn, instead of ignoring the clear violations that took place. people can go on being ignorant, but the facts are slowly coming out: ---officers are being charged, both under the police act and criminally. ---class action...

they write that because they somehow feel that way out in 'burbs, it's safe there and it would never happen to them, because no law-abiding citizens had their rights trampled on that day, and that somehow the charter rights we all enjoy can be selectively abrogated wherever and whenever the...

if people bothered to look beyond what cp24 was showing that day, perhaps they wouldn't be so ignorant. i'm sure the people who LIVE down there felt that they had a right to be there. . .but no, that didn't stop them from being kettled either.

for as long as people blindly believe that the authorities can do no wrong, and that every one of the 1000+ who were wrongfully detained (and 1000s more who had their charter rights violated) were all criminals and "got what they deserved", there will be no accountability. those same people...

very well put imho, my biggest issue is the blinkered sheeple that they actively cultivate with their brainwashing marketing campaigns. they have succeeded in culling the weak of mind into ignoring or dismissing many/most of the points you have brought up. for them, the less you know about...

thanks for the tips!

local timmy's has already been wired for wifi. . .surfed a bit today when picking up my large coffee

yeah, it would be cairene koshari that i'm after. it certainly was dirt cheap as i remember it, but still one of the best fast foods i've ever had. i'd also love to find om'ali in the crockery bowls, basturma at an affordable price, and even fesikh. . .

this issue was discussed several years ago, and there was a lot of support for creating massive urban green spaces with communal plots to grow food. it would require quite a commitment to demo and clear all of those abandoned buildings, but heck, no one is using them now, and i can't see urban...
