Protesters in Toronto COST over 1 million dollars to charities

By the numbers
An 'estimated' 10,000 protesters. Ontario minimum wage is $10.25. That's $102,500 for one hour.

The meeting is over 2 days, so let's say, conservatively, there is a total of 10 hours of 'protests' over the course of both days. That means had those attacking police officers and destroying small businesses 'worked' for those 10 hours at the MINIMUM wage, they would have been able to raise over ONE MILLION DOLLARS for charity. Instead the damage caused is almost certainly going to pass 1 million dollars.
But there's more to it than just that. The G20 will be over a 48 hour period. The cost is 1.1 billion dollars. That's an astounding  $22,916,666.66 PER HOUR!

Numbers can be tools of incredible enlightenment and perspective.
