Person of The Week
- Mayor David Miller
June 28, 2010 | 3:25 PM
Toronto’s Mayor David Miller has been named Anabolic Stories’ Person of the Week for his blunt and accurate criticism of the G-20 Summit.Miller has implored Canada’s federal government to compensate businesses that the small group of “ideologically” idiots damaged. While Prime Minister Harper certainly discouraged and condemned the Black Bloc’s actions, the culprits are unlikely to be identified. As such, the financial responsibility ought to belong to the second most blameworthy party: the feds. Canada’s Parliament chose to hold the Summit in downtown Toronto, which was an incredibly irresponsible decision for obvious reasons. The parliamentarians either understood the potential consequences of this disruption or were too naïve to be in office. Their decisions brought the Black Bloc to Toronto.
The Mayor also noted the unproductiveness of the conference in an interview with the Toronto Star. The G-20 merely agreed on fiscal responsibility, which certainly did not vindicate mass chaos. History dictates that the promises will likely be broken.
As Anabolic Stories has continually argued, videoconference would be the most judicious and efficient meeting method. Miller’s disapproval, though it does not include using technology instead of face-to-face conferencing, echoes this corner’s concerns.
