G20

There is definelty an increased police presence in the city right now as a result of the G20. For example, I rode the streetcar with 8 RCMP officers recently. I went out for pizza last night and passed at least 25 officers. I have noticed that I cannot help but stare at them, I am just not accustomed to that many RCMP, OPP and Toronto Police in one place. Luckily for me all the officers I have run into are exceptionally nice, over and over again I have been caught gawking at them, and every single time, they smile warmly, nod and say hello. I know this may not end up being the case during the actual G20 when they will be under extreme pressure, but I must admit, I love living in a country where are police are friendly.

Probably doesn't help that you are surrounded by their HQ at home. Though I'm sure as you aren't a protester they don't have a huge interest in what you are up to... Though i'm sure they'd like a slice of pizza.

Wait until the "Out of Town" Police Show up.

When I was in Ottawa and saw the G20 Finance Ministers Meeting they had Toronto Police, Ottawa Police, OPP, RCMP and Kingston.

Happy Police Watching!
