Is Toronto the victim of G20?
For the whole day, the media focus on the travel alert issued by the States against Toronto. The media interviews farmers, university students, small business owners and cab drivers. Their conclusions, as you guess it, are unfavorable. If the summit brings downtown access to a halt, shutdown farmer market, discourages visitors...Is Toronto pressured into hosting it?
Hosting a cartel meeting is definitely not for the benefits of the world. China has already warned the group that currency exchange is out of the agenda. Canada is resisting the set up of the Bank fund. However, the worst is the closed door meeting, the world is in the dark. In addition to the CAD 1.1 billion spent on security, Torontonians have to be prepared for disruptions, destructions and disillusions.
Personally, I do not believe these meetings can accomplish anything at all. These wine and dance meetings do not even benefit the host city. Why do we host them???
