McDonald's has taken sensible precautions, considering the last couple of protests.
Wellington Street has been fenced off at the Langevin Block - i.e., the Prime Minister's Office.
This building used to be the US Embassy. It's probably a good thing it isn't, anymore; just look how close to the street it is. That'd be hard to defend in a riot situation.
You'll notice, looking at the shoulder patches, that these are actually members of the Metro Toronto PD. I counted at least a dozen of them hanging around the corners on Wellington, in addition to the RCMP and Ottawa police milling about. Two were kind enough to let me snap their photo.
An early-arriving moonbat.
These quiet pro-life protestors are up on the hill nearly every day. I wonder if they'll hang around once the real chaos starts?
Parliament Hill was mostly empty as of 9:00, except for a few members of the media getting establishing shots.
It appears they've been bused downtown, too.
Ghosts of graffiti from demonstrations past are still faintly visible on the Bank of Canada building.
Wellington is still open at the moment, and the Supreme Court lawn is utterly empty. I predict both these things will change.
...Yow, that's some good old-fashioned crazy all over that trailer.
