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.
So, convicted felons are allowed entry into Canada now?
Armed security too?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.
Giant stadium style human writing that can be seen from a helicopter perhaps?
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.
Yeah, they should clarify that being at the G7 and also being a convicted felon is unusual.
Carney spoke out about state visits to the UK. Time to stand up now Mr prime minister.
