The main meeting takes place on the 26th.
No information on the actual time of day of events.
I'm keeping away from Toronto on this day.
Regardless of whether anything destructive might be pulled off, the entire downtown core will effectively be in a state of Martial Law during this time... sound cannons are being deployed... and basically, your ability to move about the city or even get the provisions you need for the day will be practically null and void.
Normally I love a good protest.
But I know better than to stand under a giant target.

It certainly does have the potential to be a disaster. Why in the hell does it have take place in the biggest city in the country?! Have it in some small town or on an air craft carrier and save a whole bunch of money with reduced risk.

You have no idea how many people have said "It should be on an aircraft carrier".
You're absolutely right. An aircraft carrier secure, it's not on anyones land, it's not endangering anyone, and it's not shutting down businesses.
Hosting it in the heart of Toronto has too much potential to be a disaster, this is the point I'm driving at. I don't like it at all.

US is just to our south, and a member of the G20.
With more Aircraft Carriers than they know what to do with.
I'm sure they can spare one for the occasion.
I'm sure the other 19 members would be willing to share the bill for it's use.
