Hopefully they will! If it's too close to the Seattle show (which I have a ticket to), then I most likely won't go to TO. Gotta spread things out a bit.

I hear you!

I hate it when that happens. When you are busy, time flies, but when you have nothing to do....

How come? You must be beat!

Got through cooking and dinner mouse-free.

It was a success, everyone was full - Sarah made the most amazing chocolate cake, omg.

I'm putting my feet up for the rest of the night.

Eta - we've had the G20 news on all day. I've been too busy to pay much attention except off and on, but it sounds like today has been mostly peaceful protests and bystanders, but that there has been a shitload of unnecessary arrests and detainments. The Toronto Police force is going to have a lot to answer for, in the next few days. It's going to be interesting.

Oh wow, Sarah just read this to me: "Amnesty International is calling on the Canadian government and the govt of the Province of Ontario in launching an independent review of the security measures that were put in place for the G8 and G20 Summits. The review should include opportunities for public input and the results should be released to the public."

Seems like the police behaviour today has been just as shameful as the vandalism done yesterday.

I hope you get some sleep tonight.

Drinks for Drea too...

VP...I have been hearing about police brutality today too..just shameful. I am glad you got through your dinner!!

VintagePunk · 06-27-2010, 08:47 PM

This is bullshit. Police have been holding hundreds of people for the past couple of hours at the intersection of Queen and Spadina (they've been showing it live on the news, and there are members of the media in the crowd). They've been held there for the past 4+ hrs, most of that time in the pouring rain (there have been bad storms in the area all afternoon and evening). They had 6 busses come to transport some of them to the detention centre to process and hold them, but there wasn't enough transportation or room for all of them....so, the hundreds that were left have all been forced to stand there on the street this whole time. They're just letting them go now. People are being interviewed, saying people are sick, shivering, shaking from standing there so long...

Ridiculous. This is going to get nasty.

Oh, and the G20 is basically over now. Most of the world leaders left several hours ago.

ryancoke71 · 06-27-2010, 08:50 PM

I am waiting until after the kids go to bed to watch. They seem to be arresting the peaceful protesters, not the real troublemakers. I agree- this is going to get really nasty!!

VintagePunk · 06-27-2010, 08:53 PM

There's a guy talking now...he and his gf were downtown today shopping for clothes for their baby daughter. They were walking along, and got caught up in a crowd when police surrounded them. I also heard a similar story earlier today from a couple of guys who had been to a bar to watch a world cup game...they were leaving the bar, and got herded into a detained crowd by the police.

A shitstorm's coming. This is nuts.

ryancoke71 · 06-27-2010, 08:55 PM

I have to go put the kids to bed so I can watch now....this is so embarassing for Canada
