Reptiles banned from G20

[Catherine]

It is G20 thinking or rather non thinking.

We went through it here. They forced us to cancel public transit in the downtown core. (One could wonder why they held the actual conference in that down town core) People who work in that down town core were arrested when they tried to walk home from work. A med student trying to cross the street to get a coffee was arrested even though his back pack had a med school text book in it. Their thinking was bizarre.

Toy cars and reptiles really don't make good weapons.

My advice to anyone in the area would be to either leave town for the duration or do what I did, I did not go outside.
If you do plan to protest, write your lawyers name on your arm in non washable ink and be prepared for rough treatment. Be prepared for years of post G20 law suits. We are still not over it from 2010.

Just as a silly thinking extra, they spent almost 2 million dollars setting up a media centre with a fake lake and deck chairs looking at pictures of Canadian scenery. What reporter would sit in a deck chair watching pictures while there is a big story going on. Reporters were arrested too by the way, so I guess they wanted them to sit in deck chairs.
