#1 Doesn't Canada have a spare island or two where the G8 and G20 could assemble & not horribly inconvenience law-abiding Canadians?

#2 Newfoundland springs to mind.
I lived in St Johns as a young lad (Dad was U.S.Army) it's nicely out of the way, usualy frozen except July when the temperature gets up around 55-60 or so.

#3 Crème brûlée of foie gras with Tonga beans

Ravioli with guinea fowl and burrata cheese, veal reduction

Imperial gingerbread pyramid with caramel and salted butter ice-cream

And then down to business ... Has my room got a view .

#4 There's a place called Thousand Islands near Kingston, ON. No shortage of islands there for a summit. It's a few hours drive from Toronto.

#5 You could have the summit in Newfoundland but then you'd have to 'screetch in' all the deligates. I'm not too sure that Obama is game for kissing a codfish.

#6 I think all these "conferences" should be held on Bermuda, and all the delegates be housed in a cruise ship. It would do wonders for Bermuda's economy, there wouldn't be many "protesters", and with the scenery never changing, quite a few of the entourage would drop away, allowing some real work to be done.

#7 "allowing some real work to be done"

Are you sure that's what you want from the G8/G20 clowns, OP?

#8 The security costs alone have passed $1 billion CDN.

Lot of Canadians are asking how that is value for money. Conservative Stephen Harper has a lot to answer for.

Just Google fake lake

#9 It wouldn't be a proper G8 summit without some broken shop windows, seething anarchists, an explosion or two and some giant puppets. Man, I *luv* them giant puppets. Do you think they'll have the little pink tank?

#10 think they'll have a puppet of Soros or Chaves? No, they pull the strings
