"...that among these are Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness, and shopping at the Eaton Centre."
Haha, most excellent.
Still, the man's sentiment regarding the police is right...he was probably just frustrated and the closing of the Eaton (sp?) Centre must have been the last straw.

No worries. Here's another link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXIE2uOdnkQ
hahahaha, just like someon said...once you upload anything to the internet it stays on the internet..forever.
(english is not my native language, sorry for grammar.)
Wow has anyone ever told him that in capitalism you can just go somewhere else to shop... O_O
Oh well I've seen worse. One time in a subway a guy wanted to order a sub that he thought was on the 5 dollar menu but wasn't. The lady spent like 10 minutes trying to explain this and even showed him the menu that his choice of sub was not on the menu. He got so mad he threated to beat her up and was cursing a storm (in front a little kid no less). Later I learned that this must happen often because that subway has a place to put baseball bats just in case they are physically threatened.
I like to think that socialism is like this, insanity on a mass scale. Or just one giant temper tantrum
If what we have in South Africa is 'socialism', then you're exactly right.
When the council, which maintains that the community agreed to erect enclosures themselves, eventually put up tin and iron structures, the ANC Youth League and community members tore them down, demanding concrete structures. The council then removed the toilets altogether, a move which led to days of protest and several arrests.

Just one big temper tantrum.
Canada spent $1 Billion on security for this summit, compared to $11 Million that Pittsburgh spent for the last one. Still, they can't contain a crowd at all it seems.

Wow, what an incredibly entitled jerk. Makes me sick just listening to him. I'm sorry, when did you somehow get the RIGHT to go on another person's private property whenever you want?
If the place was a privately held mall, then forcing your way into the premises would be as bad as breaking into someone's home.
it is privately owned

He's fat and complaining. In Canada, that's a good strategy because it gets you almost anything.
What happens if you are skinny and complaining will that work? Or is the only requisite saying to Big Brother, "Big Brother use your big guns to take his stuff cause I want it." Lol, if socialists could only see themselves in the mirror, there like little kids. They throw tempure tantrums whenever they want something and they have unrealistic views of the world like "if only the rich weren't so rich then everything will magically be ok."
I must admit, if they didn't threaten the lives of billions of people (mine included) with thier spoiled brat ways then they would actually be entertaining .

I don't know if I'd use the term 'successful' so loosely. Any socialistic state can be deemed 'successful' if you lower the expectation of its people by the proper amount.
Americans and some canadians i know use canada as an example of a successful socialist state. Comments?
The only difference between Massachusettes and a Canadian province is that is that one of these things has Boston.
Social Security = Canada Pension Plan
Public Schooling = Public Schooling
Public roads = Public roads
Tax rates in US on income and sales of goods and services -> Very, very similar to that in Canada.
Canada is a geographically large state that's a cross between Massachusettes and Minnesota. It has a different flag, parliament system and it's own political issues. In terms of "socialism" it's really no different here.
Anyways, I'm driving to Americaland later today, and I'll be down there for the next few days. Hopefully I get to check out D.C., that would be rad.
Careful in D.C... a politician might get you lol
That guy is just a moron. There really isn't much else to it.

Canada is so socialist that the corporate and capital gains taxes are lower over there. It's also easier to start and close a business.

Not to defend the guy, it might be better to understand his protest given the context of the G20, his mistake is protesting to the wrong people. He's complaining to the private owners of a business for cordoning off and closing their store after being paid by political elites striving to achieve their own security and luxury at the expense of himself and other taxpayers. I was similiarly annoyed but not vocal, when parts of my university were cordoned off for the safety of the parasites taking part in one of the UK election debates.
