History

Historical Context

The 2008 G20 summit in Toronto sparked 12,000 police officers and C$1.5 billion security costs, echoing earlier large-scale gatherings that drew massive media focus. By 2026, the Canada Investment Summit, backed by Prime Minister Mark Carney and a C$100 billion infrastructure pledge, again provoked over 1,000 demonstrators. Fox News, which drew 7.3 million viewers for the 2004 Republican convention, illustrates how such events amplify corporate-political debates.
