After holding the G20 Summit in Toronto, I hope the damn thing never returns and wonder why anyone would want to host one. For reasons such as a waste of tax payer money (our government spent a ridiculous amount of money - $858 million), jammed city street, the violent protests and damage done to the city were all issues we got to deal with. Our police department also received a real blow to their public relations image when they were put in awful positions when dealing with the protesters.
Governments know this type of crap is going to happen, so why continue using the same format? Why not hold one on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean that is surrounded with a Naval fleet of war ships? Anyone who comes within a certain distance would be blown out of the water.
Sometimes I think the governments of the world just love the drama.
