the g20 protest is messing up my plans
Huge protest going on downtown right now. All public transit south of Bloor has stopped. The Eaton Centre is locked down (yes, with shoppers still inside!). Bank & store windows have been smashed. 2 police cars have been torched. For the first time in this city's history, tear gas has been used. Of course, all this is due to a group of anarchists called the black bloc.
Obviously on the Canadian channels, this story has been running non-stop (except for CBC, they're showing the World Cup... oh, the game is finally over, now they've switched to G20 news). I've switched over to CNN and nary a mention. Not even a scroll. Why am I not surprised? LOL
R and I had plans to head up to North York for a concert. We're going to wait it out and see what happens in the next couple of hours. It appears the black bloc are heading south towards the security zone -- good for me; bad for her.
Well, I haven't stepped foot outside all day. Been hearing helicoptors and sirens on and off. Spending the time watching Burn Notice and finally found a copy of the Doctor Who finale so that's what I'm going to do now.
