Headhunter Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 are everywhere in the downtown core this morning. It appears as though they are positioning themselves for the rally going on at Queens Park. Here, at Bay and Queen, we have two bus loads of ETF, dozens of riot equiped police ... so, if you don't have to come down town today, don't!

mdej Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yes the police presence is large. I'm by the Royal York and police in riot gear everywhere. However my understanding is the human chain that was to span the downtown core was called off earlier this morning buy the organizers. Looking out my window now all I see it some police and Timmy's cups, not a protester in site. In fact a very nice day downtown! Not sure about the Queens Park area.

lookinforwalleye Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 It does not take a protest for me to avoid TO. LOL, Toronto has nothing I need or want you can keep all your protests and all your special interest groups! I moved out of Toronto in the early 80's and have never looked back, the fam and I are quite happy living north of the mullet line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carp Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just another day in the core of Toronto. I avoid that place like an east wind. Very nice to view the city from the lake at night though Last year I stayed out until dark just for that reason. No roads for the protesters to block out there. Late nights driving along the Gardiner Expressway is very nice too. Providing there are no pedestrians going for a stroll across the highway.

holdfast Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Maybe (The "Abandoner"), Iggy will step in again and make promises like he did the other day to protesters that blocked your Highway over crap outside this Country who are Terrorists. What a Pussy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outdoorguy61 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I really wish that those that want to fight and protest would consider their options carefully and leave Canada, if they feel so strongly, rather than instill age old hostilitys, into what is a most welcoming home for most immigrants. outdoorguy61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who bloody well cares about their crap. Like my RSM always told us. IF you don't like it. GET OUT. These pussies know that they have it good here, but just don't appreciate our tolerances.

Headhunter Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Funny how a thread I started to help out my fellow members, ie avoid down town, has once again been hijacked into a promoting one's political opinions. None were asked for, none were required. Start your own thread! Thanks guys! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Well, I had high hopes that a level of decorum would prevail, but alas, I was once again incorrect. One can still hope though, can't they. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
