G20...Big Issue...It's going to be a long couple of Days


G20 will be approaching soon and Toronto wants to look good to the world. They want to make Canada look good. Having G20 in Canada has already raised so many issues. We have issues on the fake lake, issues on security and also with protestors. So we are going to start with the fake lake. A fake lake... why would we need a fake lake in the first place when we do have Lake Ontario out there. So...Huntsville, Ontario is in the middle of cottage country and according to rough estimates, there are 20,000 fresh water lakes in and around the area. Now the G8 leaders and their entourages will be able to look at these lakes through heavily guarded windows which are located nowhere near the lakes at all because their security feels that being near a lake is dangerous?!?!?! Now the G20 in Toronto will have more world leaders and our government feels they must see what the G8 people see from their heavily guarded windows in Huntsville. So the fake lake cost what? Ummm...$2 million dollars. Were spending for leaders who would stay here for lke a couple of days to probably a week. I totally see the fake lake as a waste. Then there is the security and protestors. When there are protestors, there are security to protect the leaders. There are going to be many protestors down in downtown during G20 to express what they do not feel happy about. Like on one site I found people are protesting that privatization, trade liberalization and this economic system of greed is not working (http://www.cupe.on.ca/doc.php?subject_id=217&lang=en). With so many protestors there are gonig to be sercurity guards protecting the leaders and their family and blocking off protestors. So many things are happening makes going downtown for those couple of days unsave. As you can see, having G20 in Toronto is going to affect many people like people who work downtown. This gonig to be a LONG couple of days
