fenced in
I took a little detour on the way home to check out the security fences for the upcoming G20 summit which some idiot (aka Harper) decided to hold smack downtown. This is the lovely view along Front Street right now.
Oh G20, why must you suck so much? Ballgames have been moved, shows are going dark, universities & companies are thinking about closing and traffic will be a nightmare. With today's technology, the leaders can stay in their comfy homes and internet conference instead of making us spend a bazillion dollars on security. In my short walk of a few blocks, I saw more police officers patrolling the area than I usually do in a few months!
I am pretty lucky as I'm 2 blocks north of the security area. Right now, the main thing I'm dealing with is the lack of garbage bins as they've all been taken away. Although I did notice one down the street from me but I guess since I'm a smaller street, they're going to leave it. bauersgirl is a lot closer to the security zone but she does have the Dome between her and the convention centre so hopefully protestors will stay away from her area.
