04 Apr 10 - 08:51 AM (#2879318) Subject: BS: G8 in Huntsville, Ontario. Canada From: 3refs What a freakin calamity! A few years back, Pope John Paul 11 spent some time here in Orillia at an island cottage on Lake Simcoe that was within eyesight from shore. It was in conjunction with World Youth Day that was held in Toronto. I couldn't believe the security. On the day he was to travel to the event, they had either the police(from all over Ontario) or the Armed Forces at every intersection from here to Toronto so the motorcade could travel without any hassles. As it turns out, he wasn't even in the motorcade, he was in a helicopter flying over the same route. I found this out by asking a local O.P.P. I knew, who was sitting on his motorcycle just down the street from where I live. The motorcade was in case the helicopter had to make an emergency landing. Now with this G8 summit coming to Huntsville June 25-26, which is less than an hour north of here, I've been noticing, and hearing, about the security for this event. So I Google up G8 and come up with a big "Wholly Shite". I have nothing to protest about(well, not much)so I've decided to see what I can come up with to just "piss em off a bit" and not get myself arrested! |

He will undoubtedly find some way of getting there, crashing the event, get himself arrested, and generally fuck things up totally. Watch for the headlines! ;-) |

Canada From: meself I was often in Huntsville during the summers of the 1970s, and remember a spray-painted sign on the main street, that read: "$50 Reward for Dewey the Wolfman". I never learned if they ever caught ol' Dewey - perhaps we'll find out - |

Canada From: 3refs During the summer months, approximately 2,500 cars an hour, travel past Orillia(the smart ones)on Fridays. They've already set up the barracades to block off access to the highway from Barrie to Huntsville. It's going to be a mess! |
