Savard to Toronto? There's been more and more talk over the past few days about this. Could be a welcome addition reuniting him with Kessel, but another long-term top dollar contract could also be a burden. Ottawa's another rumour for Savard, but much less likely.

Another angle (POV) of the peaceful protesters singing our NATIONAL ANTHEM: Hearing the praise the cops are giving themselves via the media today is sickening.

Some more ... plain clothes

Gov't won't be handing out cash to those store owners. I'm sure their insurance will claim that they hadn't paid for the "Anarchist Protesters Premium" and will shaft them. Harper hands our economy over to the "Global Economy"? wtf? Absolutely NOTHING that they talked about will have any sort of checks/measures to ensure they do anything at all. COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY for all countries who signed!! So, $1billion spent, damages done, Toronto and many other business and people directly disrupted by this shit and there's NO ACCOUNTABILITY for these nations to do anything? What a complete waste. Pat yourselves on the backs leaders ... you done did it again

Sweetness! Looking forward to Art Park

Exactly! THanks for posting. For anyone who has followed past protests at these events you could see it all unfold just as expected pretty much. As soon as I had heard that UofT was kicking out students from specific residences I told my wife that they'd raid them at some point (this is what went down in Italy a number of years ago). Will any of those people be going to court on their charges? Unlikely. Not to excuse anyone who has caused any damage, but the general population has fallen right into the line that the authorities wanted. It truly is a battle that is carefully planned and orchestrated and just goes to show how they can now use this as a way to remind us how they can take over whenever they choose. Fuckwad Harper is now talking ... will they 'allow' anyone to ask him questions about the worthiness of spending this money and disrupting Toronto for all this time?

And this is what happens in the "Peaceful Protest" designated area of Queen's Park (far far away from the "5m close to the fence" law that they sneaked in: Toronto Police Attack Peaceful Protesters and Journalists at G20 Protests from brandon jourdan on Vimeo. There needs to be more coverage of the "peaceful protesters" and the highlighting of incidents like these.

That "no goal" was shameful. How can they NOT award that? In the end, the Germans were clearly dominant, but as somebody mentioned earlier ... soul-crushing for England. I was not impressed by Rooney either. Boo to you!

USA? Buh Bye

G H A N A !

Cop cars on fire at King and Bay Eaton Centre (Toronto's #1 tourist attraction) now shut down.

Well, by the sounds of it, downtown Fort Toronto is making sure that nobody is free to move around anywhere. ALL TTC service (subways, buses, streetcars) are NO longer operating south of Bloor and between Spadina and Broadway! If I was to go in on the GO Train i'd be forced out at Mimico Station ... what? They might as well shut down EVERYTHING. What bullshit. I smell a big class action lawsuit by local businesses being fucked over wildly by this. Not to mention the lovely little law they squeezed through the other night to allow police even more powers (that they are abusing outside of the 5m rule). As much as I wanted to stay away, i'm wanting to go in now. I really wanted to listen to Herbie Hancock tonight. Now i'll have to drive and find alternate means to penetrate the downtown core to get to the Jazz stage at City Hall. Boooo G20. What a waste. Have these meetings on military bases, in the middle of the ocean on an aircraft carrier, or on some island that no protesters can get to. And the Jays are losing their HOME series being played in Philly

1. How was Herbie last night (and Vinnie and Tal ) 2. Brad don't "think" about going to Bettye .. JUST DO IT!

No, but some great JM instead (Joni Mitchell). Bradm THANKS for posting that vid. I'd love to see the rest of that set. I read it was from 1980 in Cali. Check out the lineup she had with her ... mindblowing: Pat Metheney-guitar, Michael Brecker-sax, Jaco Pastorius-bass , Lyle Mays-Keys and Don Alias on Drums. fuuuuuuuuuck! Some more from that gig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lut3B7F_cp0&feature=related

I'd rather hear something like: ABC123 or "I'll Be There" - vacuum solo or even

aaaaand that's the reason why it was sold out?

Brazil vs Portugal zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz dull dull dull mailed-in

BTW ... check out the place they're now playing on Jul 5: http://www.shermantheater.com/
