[R-390] G-8 Summit Security...

[Jordan Arndt]

Just a note from the heart of the highest security meeting ever in Canada....
We are currently about to host the G-8 summit here, actually the majority of the
meetings are in the Kananaskis, part of the Rocky Mountains.
There are 3-4 hour waits at the border coming into Canada, and a large part of our city
will not even have mail service on Wed- Friday....Customs is heavy with delays and
security, there are surface to air missle installations in secret locations , and
regular flyovers by Hawks and Military helicopters. All dowtown Mailboxes are to be
removed, Man hole covers are to be sealed , and many offices downtown are going to be
closed .
Apparently a large contingent of F-15's(?) and CF-104's are going to keep a 24 hour
"Skywatch" over Calgary and the large area comprising the Kananaskis....
Getting to and from the Airport is pretty much impossible , and even office workers
downtown have been told to down dress like tourists to avoid being "targeted" as part
of any of the Delegations to the G-8 summit.

Just thought you all might like to know.... I might be taking my digital camera around
while I do my daily travels just in case seomthing serious does break out.... 73 de
