Did you catch Krugman's article in the NTY about the Third Depression? Maybe now we'll hit bottom and take it to the streets.
This is it. I'll be in front.
I've been kinda vocal lately about not laying down for these bastards.
"But what will my boss think? What will my customers think?"
At this point does it really matter?
I'll be in front.
Do I need to learn the Canadian National Anthem?
I love watching the one dufus cop who falls flat on face.
As someone who lives a mere two hours down the road from Toronto, shame on them. The Toronto police have had deep structural problems for, oh, ever, at least as long as I've been following it, which is about 10 years now. They were probably itching to do that.
Charging and firing on a bunch of people singing "O Canada." Fucking disgraceful. So much for "Toronto the Good," eh? More like "Toronto the Evil."
Thee is much vilification in the Canadian press regarding the vandalism that tends to accompany these meetings of the elite, but I sense that many Canadians have veiwed this event with unblinkered eyes for the firt time. I mean seriously, $1.2 billion tax dollars spent on security for these meetings? The suspension of our constitution in the zone around the meeting site? Another million or so on a temporary media center complete with a fake lake? This from a neocon government that preaches restraint, transparency and "small government"? The cognitive dissonance is becoming too great to ignore, even by the most mindless Conbots.
This quote from Naomi Klein says it all:
"My city feels like a crime scene and the criminals are all melting into the night, fleeing the scene. No, I’m not talking about the kids in black who smashed windows and burned cop cars on Saturday.
I’m talking about the heads of state who, on Sunday night, smashed social safety nets and burned good jobs in the middle of a recession. Faced with the effects of a crisis created by the world's wealthiest and most privileged strata, they decided to stick the poorest and most vulnerable people in their countries with the bill."
