Toronto: Saturday, June 26th, 2010, 5:15 p.m. At Bay and Richmond, conflicting protests... (Christopher Drost/Torontoist)

Houstonist brought you some goodies from around the Istaverse yesterday, but we wanted to share one more thing with you. We suspect that it's possible you've heard of the G20 Summit going on right now to the north of us. In fact, Houstonist's own father was just in Toronto for work, so it was rather interesting to hear him inform us how downtown offices were essentially emptied out last week, with employees being told simply not to come in to work.

Our sister blog Torontoist has been providing round-the-clock live coverage of the G20 summit, which landed in their city on a chaos-filled Saturday that saw cop cars get lit on fire, windows get smashed, and some lighter moments like the one above.

Those photographs are all from Saturday, but you can [and should, we might add!] view all of their live coverage from the weekend in these posts: Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We must say, it's pretty stunning.
