The Circus is coming to town: G8 & G20
Yes & the games have begun. The G8 is being held 2 hrs north of Toronto on a resort in a small cottage-country town. The G20 is following that in Toronto proper. Downtown.
G8 on Thursday & Friday with the G20 on Saturday & Sunday. As luck would have it, I will be in Fort Wayne, Indiana of all places during the action days. Pity.
And downtown Toronto is now an armed camp with barriers & feds & police & dogs & water cannons ready for Armageddon. They are spending a bazillion dollars to showcase a city which no one will see because of the restricted barricaded ‘armed camp’. My stepson works in a bank in the ‘armed camp’ & he is being sent to Montreal to man a backup of his division just in case. Everyone working in the zone are being told to dress down to avoid the attention of the nasty protesters who are expected to want to dismember them & any world leader who happens to saunter by.
It should be entertaining.
