…..but you probably didn’t hear much about the result after this past weekend’s G20 summit was marred with pictures of police cars blazing, police using brutal force and imposters disguised as “protesters” damaging the city of Toronto and for what?

The idea of having the twenty most influential leaders together in one place is encouraging for the greater good, but why the bill for such an event exceeds a billion dollars of our tax money and why this meeting of the minds takes place in of the biggest metropolitan cities in Canada are big question marks that led to disdain.

I am sad as an opportunity was missed this weekend. The opportunity for peaceful protesters to truly have their voices heard in standing up for what they believe. Instead, a few black clad radicals spoiled the opportunity for debate with selfish actions of vandalism and destruction. Perhaps the system could be changed to allow more of a venue for voices to be heard so that when we look back at these Summits we could applaud progress rather than senseless violence.
