PDP #239: Between the Fences

Yesterday, work was completed on the network of fencing that will, on Friday if not sooner, lock down a chunk of Toronto's downtown core for the G20 summit this weekend. It's a very sobering thing, seeing fences go up on your city streets. With them comes endless security theatre and speculation on what's going to happen next - it's like that part of the city will be waiting to exhale until the walls come down again.

Here, on Front Street, there's two adjacent layers of fencing - or at least there were last Friday, when this was taken.

  2. There's also snipers on the roofs of the high rises. Just don't look too suspicious when walking down there.
