University Avenue, Toronto, during the 2010 G20 summit. Us versus Them mentality is fascinating, divisive, and a key aspect of humanity. Are we as free as we think we are? Do we think as freely as we wish we could? #photograpy #streetphotography #protestors #toronto #canada

Spadina Avenue, Toronto, during the G20 summit of 2010. There were thousands of us in the streets, protesting various issues. Largely peaceful and heavily policed, there were incidents of vandalism and civic rights abused. That said, nobody got shot. #photography #streetphotography #protests #canada

I am an activist when the reason so moves me, like the time Toronto had a crackhead Mayor and we all protested his poor job of running our city. His brother, Doug, is Ontario's Premier and I'm not a fan, but it seems these RESIGN NOW sentiments always apply somewhere. #photography #protests #resign
