Bush in Ottawa

I just saw on dria.org that Bush is Coming To Ottawa! Actually, I knew this already, but came across an interesting bit of non-information from the City of Ottawa that I wanted to share:

http://www.city.ottawa.on.ca/residents/events/bush_visit_en.shtml.

Note the extreme lack of detail and the wide-ranging times. This morning on the CBC News, they were saying that some offices downtown are encouraging their workers to “work from home” or take the day off. It is expected to be completely jammed-up in the downtown core on “B-Day” as it’s being called.

And the activists are all getting riled-up for a day of protesting. Protestors from Toronto and Montreal will be bussing in for a day of organized mayhem and chaos further affecting traffic in the city’s downtown core.

I for one am not looking forward to it.
