Congratulations to Toronto’s top cop, for guaranteeing that the next event of this kind in the city gets 10x the protesters — made up of newly radicalized, cynical and pissed off citizens.
Ghost of a Flea has the details:
Civil libertarians were fuming after hearing Friday that the Ontario cabinet gave police the power to stop and search anyone coming within five metres of the G20 fences in Toronto for a one week period.
(…)
When asked Tuesday if there actually was a five-metre rule given the ministry’s clarification, Chief Bill Blair smiled and said, “No, but I was trying to keep the criminals out.“
