"go fuck a lion on a roller coaster" ... made my morning! Clearly the OP has a MUCH too sophisticated taste in culture to subsist in a tiny little "hick town" like Halifax! He needs lions, and theme parks, and concerts, oh MY.
Well played response OP, well played. I walk around naked in my apartment constantly- no one has complained yet but if they did I know exactly what I would say now!
Old Farmer Bob - Kudos, I wanted to say something along the same lines but you did an excellent job so I will just add a further 2 cents;
1) I do not support violence of any kind.
2)The people smashing cars, throwing bottles, and causing general mayhem were not PROTESTORS, they were VANDALS. Continuing to label them as such only undermines the message that thousands of peaceful, rational, and informed citizens were trying to send by exercising their right to protest.
I've been told by foreigners visiting Canada that they can't believe how passive we are as a country - we let alot of things slide and rarely seem to organize on a mass scale. While I am disappointed at the behaviour of some sadisitic opportunists up in Toronto, I am also relieved that so many people cared enough to turn up.
... And please don't jump to assumptions that people were protesting "globalization", there were a large number of specific items on the agenda that anyone could have had a problem with (not to mention the cost).
