    I am old enough to remember G7/G8/G20 being huge opportunities for massive protests.

    Why are we allowing him in? He’s an enemy of this country, a rapist, and a convicted felon.

    We don’t want that trash here, even if the summit is in Alberta.

      Ah; I hadn’t realized it was in Alberta. That makes a BIT more sense then. Explains the independence petition too.

        They’re holding it in Kananaskis, nicely tucked away in the mountains away from easy access by protestors. There’s a lot of people in Alberta who’d show up and make a scene otherwise.

          I was working in k country during the last one. It’s completely shut to protesters. There will be no possible way to be close. You could line the highway I suppose but drumphel will chopper in and out.

      Sadly, yes. There are all sorts of carve-outs and exceptions for heads of state and diplomats.

    I wish there was some way of organizing a protest. Not with signs or bullhorns, just people laughing and pointing at Trump whenever he’s in public in Canada. I mean laughing hysterically in epidemic proportions.

      There’s no where to get to him. I worked in k country during the last G7/G8 for a non profit in the area. He will chopper in and out guaranteed and all access to k country will be cut off. Good idea though. Just poke the fucking asshole.

    Completely fucking unacceptable. Since when did Canada’s government let a fascist, convicted rapist and felon just waltz into our country. It is a sad day for Canada stooping this low. Grrrrrrr.

    He should be arrested (at the very least).

    Weird headline. Presumably the rest of the G7 leaders will also be there.
