History

Historical Context

Mark Carney and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne’s 2026 Canada Summit in Toronto mirrors the 2010 G20 meeting that attracted 10,000 protesters and produced 1,118 arrests—the largest mass arrest in Canada. The earlier summit prompted nearly C$858 million in security spending, illustrating how repeated large-scale dissent forces authorities to balance capital inflows with public order.
