“I’m not going to Monday morning quarterback decisions made five years ago by the chief of police,” Trudeau said when asked about the summit in 2010. High-ranking police officers were blamed for excessive use of force and widespread violations of citizens’ rights in the face of riots and protests during the meeting of international leaders.


Trudeau said he was impressed by Blair’s strength, his candour and “his integrity in every sense of the word.”


Blair told reporters the G20 summit was “a very, very challenging weekend” and he acknowledged that citizens in Toronto and across Canada were concerned about police actions during the meeting. But he said Toronto police have moved quickly to adopt the post-summit recommendations for improving how officers handle protests.

1. Why would he,

Trudeau is a mile wide and an inch deep, what does he care about integrity or accountability. Blair, Fantino, McGuinty, Harper and all of the authorities involved should wear their conduct around their necks like criminal records.

3. Gee, what a surprise

I'm starting to think that when Eve Adams and Justin Trudeau came together, she wasn't the one who crossed the floor.

4. I am no longer hopeful about Trudeau being any decent possible change.

(I think his looks had me there for a while .... I know, I'm shallow).
