Acuity
passive protest
Posted by Rick (Toronto, Canada) on 14 July 2012 in Documentary & Street.
A seething passionate mass of citizenry gathered prior to the first day of marching protest at 2010's G20, and others selected a languid patch of grass for which summer provides a daytime bed of relax.
@Nicou: Merci.
@Doug: I didn't hang around to see if he did, but I hope not. I hope he just remained within his zone of relaxation.
@l'Angevine: ? Il jouit de la belle journée.
@Saeed Rasoulof: Thanks for having a look.
@SalSa: Merci beaucoup.
@Martine: Aimables paroles. Je vous remercie beaucoup.
@Williams: It's about our Prime Minister peeing away a billion dollars to host the summit downtown, I suppose. Not sure how lasting the changes will be, but there are continuing stern repercussions for the way it was policed, and hopefully in future these types of world leader gatherings will be held more responsibly. Especially in the fiscal sense. I won't ever participate again, though : much more likely to go for a day long bike ride on the lake!
@mosleh: Thanks.
@Judy aka L@dybug: Thanks, Judy. Have yourself a nice weekend.
@Joyce: The page has no limits, sista. Parks like this one (Allan Gardens in downtown east) are endlessly variable places for how the citizenry chooses to use the space. I am about to walk through it soon on my way to a grocery store, and will see people lounging on the grass beneath trees, reading or listening to music, playing guitar... and I'll see drunkards on benches, already out of it before noon... and the whole cocktail will loop the loop as it does, and as it seems meant to do. Now who's off the page ? ;-))
@Slackwater - Don: The marching and protesting was wide and varied, and anything but relaxing. I guess it is a duty of sorts, or nothing at all will ever change. Thanks for having a look.
@Denny Jump Photo: Thanks very much, good man. I hope your weekend is a very pleasant one.
@klausZ: I always appreciate your time and comments, buddy.
@Joyce: That's a rich follow-up comment, page without edges kinda thing... I had small town buddies back in my youth who absolutely REFUSED to visit Toronto after I moved there. Some of these guys had never left the county! I had to respect their freedom of choice and opinions, but a lot of their opinions weren't grounded in actual experience, and that is where I had issues with their outspoken-ness. We are highly complex onions!
