Dalton, I like your brother, but you're a real asshole

Premier Dalton McGuinty’s officials plotted to keep the G20 law secret weeks before the Star revealed that Toronto police believed they had the power to arrest anyone near the summit site.

This is not something that should be kept secret. 

And you, Vic Vicious , you get liar added to asshole for trying to play Lady Macbeth.  We know who really was the force behind the act.

The feds co-ordinated security and funded it.

"I certainly wasn't aware of the concerns that were being raised with the bill." - Vic Vicious

"You're talking about the regulation that the McGuinty government passed? It was sometime after the G8/G20 event," Toews told reporters Wednesday when asked about when he learned of Ontario's passing changes to the Public Works Protection Act. That statement contradicts at least one of the findings of Marin, whose report suggests the RCMP and Toews's department did know about the Toronto police request to have the controversial regulation passed.

Hell, Vicious, we ordinary, Tim drinkin' and Starbuck sipping Canadians knew about it before the event.  Would you like me to get you a subscription to the Citizen?  Recommend a few blogs?

And there's this bit of damning evidence:

Email response to CBC from RCMP Sgt. Julie Gagnon:

Q: When was the RCMP made aware of the PWPA?

A: A few months before the actual event, the RCMP was made aware that TPS [Toronto Police Service] was considering using the PWPA however; the RCMP was not consulted on if TPS would use the PWPA during the Summits.



But hey - you fuckers needed that dry run for the reincarnated SPP, right?
