The federal government spent more than $1.2-billion on what turned out to be an annoying and disruptive photo-op. In an age of technological wizardry the idea of dragging thousands of people from around the world to a downtown fortress for a day or two was beyond ludicrous… The G8/G20 meetings are just a symptom of the greater problem: We have become allergic to the truth. And worse, we are aware of this state of affairs and accept it as the price for getting along. Deep down, though, most of us have become utterly fed up with our politicians and leaders. It has lead to cynicism and isolation from each other and the institutions we should respect.
