Yesterday was surreal. So many downtown businesses were closed, the
streets were empty. The first photo looks up University Avenue (one
of Toronto's widest and busiest downtown streets) at about 12:30, when
normally the vehicular and pedestrian traffic would be ~very~ heavy.
The second looks east along Wellington Street, between the
Toronto-Dominion Centre and the Royal York Hotel (showing the infamous
fence), again around 1pm, when traffic would normally be very heavy:

Didn't bother taking pix of cops - they were all just sitting around
doing nothing. Kind of reminded me of reading about France's "Phony
War" at the beginning of WWII. I wonder of all those fences will be
like the Maginot Line?
Today's supposed to have many demos, but I don't know if I really feel
like going downtown to find out. My better half is feeling under the
weather and I might do more good sticking around the house on this
rainy day.
Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.
cheers,

There's something you don't see every day. You must have felt like the
Omega Man, Frank
When APEC was in town here, the fences went up too. You might have heard
about the prank The Chaser satire team pulled off. A teeny motorcade
with one of the Chasers dressed up as Osama got through almost all of
the security, until Osama decided to get out of the limo and complain to
the police about not being invited. The motorcade were cunningly
disguised with little Canadian flags, naturally. Too good.
