Photos: Vancouver G20 protesters burn Canadian flag, disrupt traffic

Disgusting. If you hate this country so much that you have to burn the flag than why don't you just GTFO. You are not wanted here.

The protestors are protesting the actions of the Toronto Police Force and the Ontario Provincial Police by bashing Stephen Harper? They have truely shown that they have little intelligence. Before the protest it was the Ontario Liberal Cabinet Ministers who were on the news talking about the extra powers that the OPP was supposedly given.

If were a fascist state, the black bloc would have been shot on sight, especially for what they did to the flag. Don't like Canada, then get the F out!

You should be ashamed of yourselves- Canada allows this type of protest- altough it doesn't mean you should partake- burning flags?Why not just give up citiznship altogether-cause the rest of us Proud Canadians don't even really want ya part of Canada if that is what you think of our flag.Shame Shame Shame

What a pack of ungrateful idiots. How dare those stupid people burn our flag. I say pack him all up and ship them to the middle east to live under islamic law. They are already comfortable with the burka look. They are proof every cent of the billion dollars for security was well spent for the G-20

Why can't these idiots go and do something worthwhile with their lives... oh wait, that's too hard. To work hard, make money and live a good life! I wonder how many are on welfare? How is protesting, burning flags going to to prove anything? I think the black box retards should have been shot, killed, by the police! We don't need morons!

Effective Message Fail

it is a shame that the scum at the protest were not detained and executed on the spot. the police should be allowed to use lethal force against those people.

Mr. Harper's Canada!!! reminds me of the days of HITLER!!! Cops/the PM and everyone around us isn't SAFE!! FREE CANADA

If I were SFU students Brennen Smith and Alicia Tallack I'd be a bit worried about a clear photograph appearing alongside this story with my name in the caption. When they graduate, apply for positions, and attend interviews, they shouldn't be surprised if this material comes back at them, especially with Vancouver's base of very conservative employers.

People have been penalized in both public life and in everyday life for stuff they put in their facebook pages, such as a woman in Quebec whose disability payments were terminated when her photos showed her having fun at a bar.
