Disgraceful, disgusting, embarrasing.
Disgraceful that these people insist that Canada can help their cause.
Disgusting that they put women and children at the front of the protest.
Embarrasing that Toronto Police Service wasn't prepared to prevent something like this.
I am TRULY embarrassed that Toronto's "finest" allowed this to happen. Having seen some of the footage, I sure wouldn't have wanted to be in the shoes of the 7 or 8 policemen who tried to prevent these idiots from entering the highway. However, don't they have contingency plans in place for this type of thing? I suppose (hope?) they will for next time.
Canadians (Torontonians specifically) really have become the pee-ons of North America. We truly are a tolerant folk! What an embarrassment!! Of course, you could say I've done nothing myself to prevent this, but that isn't true, because I've been a contributing resident of this City since I first started paying taxes, and part of my tax contribution is supposed to go towards the Police Service which has proven to be quite inept with regards to these criminals blocking the roads and highways.
Once again, even though there were less than a hundred protesters at Queen's Park, the TPS saw fit to close University Avenue again today, I presume as a precaution for the U.S. Consulate. It seems they are willing to go to any length to prevent an altercation with these scumbag welfare leeches, including inconveniencing thousands of taxpayers!!
Every one of the protesters occupying the Gardiner last night should have been detained, had their identity verified, and photographed in the act. Those that are in Canada illegally should be IMMEDIATELY deported. Those that are here legally should be given ONE warning: If you protest in an illegal fashion again, you WILL BE deported.
On second thought, let's do this: Next month, instead of their monthly assistance cheque, send them a coach ticket on LTTE airlines to Tamil-ville and a voucher for a free rifle, redeemable upon landing in Sri Lanka. Oh, and the return ticket will be dated for 90 days from now... You see, we'll be paying a little extra now, in order to save money down the road.
If this DOES make the news on CNN today, we'll be the laughingstock of North America, as we justly deserve to be.
If they want to protest at Queen's Park (they need permission to do so, in certain areas), then fine. Who gives a shit, right? The second ANY of them sets foot on a public road or sidewalk (or Highway!!), blast them into oblivion with a Toronto Fire pumper truck, or pepper spray them, or just tase them and get it over with. Have a shitload of mounted units at the ready. Think these idiots can do as they please with police horses stomping their toes?
Wanna put your women and children in harms way? Fine by me. It's YOUR decision to do so... I wouldn't shed a tear if one of your precious little future welfare earners got squashed. Having said all that, it'll never happen. We're too "polite" and "tolerant" for that, unfortunately...
There comes a time when enough is enough, and this is exactly that time for these protesters. I find myself hoping that things get a little violent, so that we can get this mess cleaned up for good.....
