Kathy...first a Canadian Earthquake and now strong restrictions on some busy roadways; did not even realize that Canada was the site for a G-8 summit. Needed posting for your area, & any summer-vacationers coming your way. Have a good rest of the week.

Hi Kathy, your consumers will sure appreciate this post. It is a shame that such security precautions have to be made, but it is such a different world today than when I grew up. The G-8 Summit has been a lightning rod for lots of protests in the past several years.
Barb - not just the G8 ..... immediatly after the G20 will take place in Toronto
Bruce - the G20 will have an even bigger impact on Toronto as many people who normally work in the area being cordoned off are being told to say home during the G20.
