Speaking of freedom from state tyranny

by Aaron Wherry on Friday, July 16, 2010 5:13pm - 0 Comments

While the haze still lingers, that weekend in Toronto now has a soundtrack, courtesy of Broken Social Scene and some enterprising videographer.

This video was made as a response to the G20 Summit in Toronto June, 2010. The rest speaks for itself. It was sent to us by a lover of our music who wants to remain anonymous. We are very proud to share this mash-up with you.

Video after the jump.

    Nice shots of Steve.

    Sure beats pepper spray.

    Looks to be viral material to me!
    Heck – the Liberal party might co-opt it! They need a theme song!

    RAWR!! I hate corporations and what our society has become. I weep for Gaia.

    Thank you young Wherry for showing us that there are true radicals embedded within the corporate power structure. Resist!

    (typed on my Mac, sipping a Starbucks, watching Google's YouTube on a site owned by Rogers Cable. But this post makes me feel better because I'm part of a generation with no purpose riddled with guilt about our comfortable place in society.)

      Excellent. Post of the day.

        Or maybe it says stop farting around and fix the world

      Thanks for the bad Dennis Miller impersonation, Wheery.

      It's just a tad redundant, though: Miller's been doing a bad impersonation of himself for about ten years.

    Needs more Zardoz.

      And nothing in that statement strikes you as odd?

      ' On our way to the game, we spoke to many transplanted RCMP officers, asking them where they were from, what they thought about the fence and the weekend to come.'

      and

      'While to hailing a taxi, I asked two female RCMP officers what part of Canada they were from. They were unresponsive, and in passing I stated "Good luck with Saturday".'

      Then:

      ' I did not have any information to share with them as I didn't even know what the G20 was'
