They've said all along that they won't confirm anything until closer to the date. The terrorists could be googling too you know.
at least we know khristopher isn't a terrorist (or a very good one at least).

"peace freaks and malcontents" Seriously? Opposition to something doesn't make you a freak (the term "peace freak" itself seems a bit oxymoronical, no?). People have a right to protest, and it's something that millions of people have fought for. If anything, rather than simply denouncing all protesters as freaks, perhaps you should try and understand what their cause is? You'll probably be surprised by what you learn.
As for why they continue to have these, and why the public is aware of them, would you prefer some sort of Bilderberg Group secrecy?
This type of crap freaks me out:
Can't film buildings in public all of a sudden? Wow.
there's this really cool thing now called Google. Give it a try. I did and found this in less than 30 seconds:
Toronto wants to be considered a world-class city, but don't make it inconvenient.
We can't have it both ways.
Think New York/United Nations. Does anyone think they don't like the inconvenience? What about London/2012 Olympics, Paris, and Rome?
When similar summits are held in other cities, I strongly suspect that those cities themselves are more heavily involved in the planning process. In fact, the cities you mentioned are capitals of their nations. Were the summit to be held in Ottawa, I suspect it would be somewhat better planned.
On the other hand, all Toronto will likely gain from the G20 is lost business revenue, smashed windows and bad publicity. The poor planning we've seen so far virtually guarantees this will be the case.
So, in the end: Ottawa's poor planning will lead to inconvenience and bad publicity for Toronto. Placed in the larger context of the current government's historical disdain for Toronto, it is not surprising that many of us are less than pleased with the whole idea.
