Vangroovy….

Maybe it’s me but something in this photo seems slightly off.

Sweet bike seen on Bathurst St..,

Here’s a taste of Toronto’s growing bike culture…

Still troubled by the illegal actions of police during last week’s G20, I’ve been doing some forensic research on the various social media coverage of the violence. While the below YouTube video showing an apparent “black bloc” anarchist running with officers emerged a week ago, I screen capped the below frame for more clarity and was intrigued at what it appears to be:

Is this man "black bloc," undercover police or worse, an agent provocateur?

You can see for yourself below. Just hit the space bar on your computer to pause the video a few times and it becomes as clear as a bell: at least one person dressed in the incriminating attire of the “black bloc” is seen here at 0:45, running alongside various police officers in this troubling scene from Queens Park:

If nothing else, an independent public inquiry is needed to answer simple questions like “who is this black bloc fellow running with the cops in this video and why wasn’t he arrested on the spot?” — MG

Unfortunately my iPhone battery dies out before the end of the march but below you can see video that I streamed live during today’s protest in downtown Toronto, where the G20 and renegade cops trampled on human rights wherever they could be found:

Here’s some stuff I shot from my iPhone while looking for some hot G20 “action!”

You can see more videos here if you’re bored and/or curious. MG

The billion-dollar tentacles of the G2 summit reached into my east Toronto neighborhood today. Before I even got outside, rubber bullets were flying as protesters gathered where a makeshift prison was set up nearby. Apparently it held 500+ people arrested in relation to yesterday’s staged mayhem.

With a billion-dollar budget floating around, one can hardly blame Toronto Studios for capitalizing on this globalist capital event and renting out their parking lot for the temporary jail. Below is the entrance where crowds cheered each time a person was released.

Further up Pape Street, officers on bikes hung around waiting for their next orders. As I pedalled through them, taking pics and videos, I was barely noticed it seemed but I am sure my movements were being tracked and documented by various types of tech and plain-clothes types.

Everywhere you looked police outnumbered protesters 10-30x.

In reaction to yesterday’s “black bloc” tactics, this neighborhood bank branch boarded up its windows. Kinda reminded me of parts of Brooklyn in the mid 90s.

Normally a bustling bank, this branch is turned into a fortress.

A local show of support for the massive police presence aka “please don’t kick our asses!”

Buses like this one carried dozens of heavily armed officers into the ‘hood. After their display of power and a waste of $1 billion of tax payer money, the “Now Hiring” artwork on the exiting buses just seemed cheeky in an admittedly humorous way to me.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Coming up: videos from the G2o In My Hood. They much better than these pics. — MG

Here’s it is….the unboxing of my spanking new iPad:

Feels anti-climatic at this point but that’ll change when I get this thing up to speed. Ironically the video you’re watching was shot with my Google N1. — MG

Need any more proof, aging faux liberal sir?
