Sorry Folks, Get Out of Town, Steve Thinks You’re Just Too Dangerous For His Pow-Wow

Toronto’s CN Tower will be closed to the public throughout the duration of the G20 summit as a security precaution.

The landmark tourist attraction will be closed June 25-27, according to a notice on the tower’s website.

“We will be open to the public again beginning at 9 a.m. on June 28, 2010, and look forward to welcoming you to Canada’s National Tower then,” said the notice posted on Wednesday night.

The tower, which attracts thousands of tourists and visitors every week, is minutes away from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre where G20 leaders will be meeting June 26-27.

To prepare for the summit, authorities have enacted heightened security measures, including installing dozens of closed-circuit video cameras in the downtown core and the designation of a restricted zone around the convention centre.

Earlier, in another security move, it was announced that a baseball series between the Blue Jays and the Philadelphia Phillies that was to be held at Toronto’s Rogers Centre during the summit weekend will be moved to Philadelphia.

Gee, I’m surprised  Steve didn’t throw everyone out of the city of Toronto for that week-end.

Just another example of that American GW Bush American culture of Conservative paranoia. I wonder how much of this elaborate security detainl is costing the tax payers?

Really, there will be protesters anyway.

As for closing the CN Tower, well, they could learn from 9/11 that it won’t stop anyone from destroying it, thus, causing many injuries on the ground. In fact, I think that all of this simply provokes protesters more.

Way to go Steve!

Hint: Maybe this  hootenany needs to be held elsewhere if there are such security risks.
