By the way.. If 179,000,000 of our tax dollars are paying for this little luxury, we better have FULL access to video and transcripts of EVERYTHING that goes on down there. If that's not the case, I'd like to hear a reasonable explanation WHY.

I'm not sure what's worse, world leaders planning who knows what behind incredible amounts of security forces or police who disguise themselves as provocateur protesters. There are many well documented cases of this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St1-W...ayer_embedded#!Following the SPP protests in Canada two years ago, Quebec provincial authorities were forced to admit that three rock-wielding black mask-wearing “anarchists” were in fact police infiltrators used to gather information on protesters.
Video shows two of the provocateurs pick up rocks and try to incite violence before they are outed as cops by legitimate demonstrators. The two thugs then tried to slip behind police lines before their fellow officers were forced to stage their arrest. Again, the fact that they were cops in disguise was later admitted by authorities. Watch the video.

Like many active sports, shooting has the potential to cause personal injury.

Yup
Bad idea imo - if things get bad outside you will be locked in. Get a cot, sleeping bag and some food - seriously. You might be staying for a while.
If you think the tab is expensive, think about the firms that are located in the zone. Lost business, low productivley due to restricted access, having to hire security etc.
I'm tangently involved at RBC with Business Continuity Mgmt - there are about 14,500 RBC staff in the affected core. Anybody that has plans to get into the restricted space will need RCMP clearance and to get that you better be doing that now or else you won't get in. From what I know I plan to be as far as possible and VPN to the office. Don't underestimate this - this will be a big deal and traffic will be a mess for a while in Toronto with the rolling closures for the security convoys to and from the airport, re-routed traffic etc.
The perimeter will be up Friday to Monday and maybe even earlier / later if there are "events". I'd just stay away if possible.
So what exactly is all this security going to mean? I'm across the street from the convention centre... does that mean I can't leave/enter the building?
Probably can't get in without RCMP issued ID so leaving is a moot point. We're spending a lot of time where I work to get ready for this (I work in RBC Plaza) so I'm surprised that folks that are in the restricted high security zone are not aware of how this will affect them.
You'll likely be ok for access - the perimeter, while not confirmed, will probably not be south of the Gardener / railway lands. Likely Bay on the east, Wellington on the north, railway lands to the south and Blue Jays Way or Spadina to the west. A 3m barbwire topped perimeter fence all around it. To be honest, it will be worse just outside the perimeter - that's where all the crap happens.
Its going to be a huge mess down there that weekend, I wouldnt want to be anywhere near that fiasco, as if things get crazy, you don;t want to be arrested and lumped in with the crazies.
Things will get crazy, protesters will get violent, people are going to be tear gassed, pepper sprayed etc... It happens at all of this events.
Toronto is within an 8-10 hour drive of most large metropolitian US centers, there will be a ton of people protesting at this event.
Yeah, that is the plan!
Did I mention that we use independent couriers who tend to be of middle eastern/southeast asian origin, driving unmarked beat up cars, carrying dozens of otherwise unmarked packages, containing sensitive information that can NOT be opened for anyone, even Jesus Christ?
