Hey hey, ho ho..

No matter how these people decide to protest the G20 in Toronto, nothing will ever change.

Even if we had the most peaceful, poetic protest, that wouldn't make the world leaders stop and say, 'hey guys, things have to CHANGE. these peaceful hippies make me realise that.'

No.

So I congratulate the anarchists. Because they're getting all the media attention. And the world is watching, and the world is listening. Maybe nothing will ever change. But at least people are getting off their asses and showing the world leaders that we're NOT happy. And we're going to say something about it.

And plus it shows the world that Torontonians, and by extension, Canadians, are not pussies. More on all this later.

I did go down to Queens Park today. Was a part of the lovely peaceful protest, then left before things got ugly. The subway was closed, so we walked from Queens Park subway to Yonge/Bloor. As we were walking north, there were cops stopping people from walking south. By the time we reached Warden, we heard rumblings of tear gas and cop cars on fire.

We sat in the car, for an HOUR just listening to the live coverage and Miller's speech. Fuckin crazy day.
