toronto downtown shut down

[Ken Hanly]

Did u look in any Canadian media? The Globe and Mail covers it with other
stories as well:

The National Post also mentions the protest:

These are both right-wing national newspapers. For a left perspective see:

Of course the main daily in Toronto covered the demo:

Did you seriously think that CNN or the New York Times would bother with
this! THere are other media outlets. You are about as insular as US media.
To find out about an event in Toronto you fail to look at the main Toronto
newspaper or the two main Canadian national newspapers!

Cheers, Ken Hanly
