It appears as if the G20 summit in Toronto is shaping up to be a showdown between anarchists and police. Caught in the middle of the security circus are local residents. If there is violence and property damage, peaceful protesters will also be demonized. The recent bombing of a bank, perpetrated by a so-called anarchist group, has given an excuse to enact more police state measures during the summit. The curious timing of the attack emphasizes the threat of terrorism and further justifies the huge security apparatus being assembled.

Ask Omar Khadr about arbitrary detainment............or Maher Arar. We live in a de facto police state (albeit a very "mild" one - until those RFID chips become embedded in everything we use - if not in ourselves)

But, like the Maher Arar case, I hope these latest "detainees" sue the pants off the Canadian government.

Police often pose as protesters, to commit vandalism, in order to give themselves an excuse to justify their favorite pastime ,bashing heads and going on a control freak orgy. Expect it to happen again this time. This will also be done to discredit the protesters, and their message. History will repeat itself.
