nah, there was no great master plan on the part of the city or the police.
Given that I have seen some of the bb memorandums, notes, and the like passed around university campuses starting near the end of last semester for g20 (U of G for the record, one of the four supposed 'ringleaders' [double lol] originates from there) and even heard about them less than subtly from several sympathetic university protest groups, I am fairly certain there was no setup. They simply adopted a highly disruptive and effective plan (black bloc) to do it.

Im not saying no protesters ever break stuff, im saying its presented as an excuse as to why police have to act the way they do.
Im not talking about some big top secret documents ive looked at, ive attended more than 100 protests over the course of 12 years. Its an observation. It always works the same.
A few people break stuff, cops beat up everyone and break up the protest, and images are run at 6pm in the news to justify the police state.
Heres a good article on what happened in Toronto this weekend:

It comes back to what i was saying earlier, the US has been at the forefront of the support for fascist-like regimes in the world for 60 years, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. The western world better wake the fuck up or its byebye constitution/canadian charter of rights and freedoms and their similar counterparts.
If people arent profoundly disturbed by videos such as this:
