Talk:2010 G20 Toronto summit

Gary Justice (talk) 08:11, 31 December 2014 (UTC) Review by Gary Justice not fulfilling the criteria of : scope : main aspects covered.

This article is missing reasonable coverage of the controversy of human rights violations fully expressed by mainstream government officials and mainstream press. This has bearing on Canada's overall aggressive and progressive affront to fundamentals of democracy and its changing position internationally as a nation of peace and positive influence. Secondly, the coverage in this article of the economic and social impact of choices made to spend this exorbitant funding of security in a very peaceful territory seems biased in that it details government  officials' statements defending the cost allocation and very briefly mentions dissenting views which were huge in volume and quality of articulation.

Similarly the article only mentions, in one sentence, that detainees expressed they "weren't well treated", an immense understatement of the well documented abuses, easily found and supported by a simple google search such as "g-20 propaganda". Police hiding their identity, detainees robbed of crucial medications, a quadriplegic who was left on the floor to defecate on himself and a man whose last name was "Nobody" severely beaten for answering the question "what is your name?". Video footage showing that "black bloc" members may have been police officers, in that they all wore regulation police boots ,and many other details, are unbalanced to be left out of this article.

The lack of information to the public about the actual content of the G-20 meetings, and how the subjects of the meeting were dealt with, other than sparse headlines, is another feature of importance that, left unmentioned, render this article lacking in fulfilling the criteria of "good article" broadly covering the scope.

Proposal: someone who has time and skill to add a section called "Controversy" with links to video, articles and support sources would help to balance this article closer towards "neutral" and would bring attention to these very important features of the event.
