I was in Toronto the past couple days and was pretty impressed by the cleanup...my apartment is on King and Spadina and I never would've been able to tell there was a major summit and riots.

1. Give flowers to everyone on the street.
2. Sign petitions handed out by hairy girls.
3. Play whiny songs with bearded 18 y. o. dudes.
4. Write letter of protest and address it to the presidents of the world.
5. Paint a PEACE sign on your face.

Any of these suggestions would have made G20 to take notice.

A lot of peaceful protests were allowed to get VERY close to my checkpoint, which was right next to the convention centre. When there are cars being set on fire, nobody really worries about people chanting "be sexy, be cute, take off your riot suit" as long as they aren't in leap-frogging proximity to the violent mobs. I saw lot of cops accepting flowers and such with a smile. Of course, every checkpoint has its own culture.

I directed high risk close protection, QRF and other contingencies for some broadcasting companies. Most of my guys were CP for reporters, camera crews, etc. on the scene. I spent most of my time on the other side of the fence, but every now and then got a peek at the action.

I believe Sarkozy made some comments along the line of 'we will never need this much security.' Which makes me shudder considering the ethnic and religious tension in France makes Toronto look like...well...Toronto and that they are willing to riot for a couple day deduction of their month's worth of statutory holidays or something alone those lines.
