G8 week.

Bloody security everywhere. Signing in and out of buildings. All the windows down town boarded up. Beggars everywhere, (Millions of the blighters). Concrete blocks in-front of all the buildings. All the sky-walkways closed (you can cross the entire downtown staying inside normally, but now you have to go outside, which isn't so bad except it's freakin' 30 degrees C out there). Cops everywhere. Army helicopters everywhere. Kananaskis closed , We've all been warned to wear scruffy clothes to work next week as people in suits / corporate wear might be targeted.

Sorry, but this is a pain in the butt. I respect people's rights to protest, and I have nothing against the peacefull one's, but everyone's expecting riots (again). Why don't they hold the G8 up here in the middle of winter. I'd like to see these buggers riot when it's thirty degrees below and 4 foot of snow everywhere.

I'll keep you posted on event's. First big march is today, hopefully there won't be any trouble.

And where did all the beggars come from? Usually there's a few down town, now there's 3 or 4 every block.
