I can't believe all the conspiracy theories being purported here. They're gonna turn the US into a police state, this is only the tip of the iceberg and by next week the country will all be bowing to Darth Bush, etc etc etc.
It's already a police state. You think there's a shortage of roadblocks or heavily armed police in the U.S? I'm afraid you're not in the realm of reality if that is the case.

I guess given the premise that using the military in this manner is the first step to taking over the country, must mean that both Toronto and southern Manitoba are now being run by a dictators who have trampled all over human rights.
Give your heads a shake. One of the main mandates of any military is aid to civil power. That's all this is, no ursupring of democracy or a giant conspiracy to take over the county. Something tells me certain people watch far to many movies.
It's enough reading the laws imposed by the Bush administration after 9/11 or taking a glanse at the weapons the police have at their disposal to subdue protestors.
Reality is a lot scarier than movies.
