As promised in posts passim, I'm venturing far beyond my usual Hill
stomping grounds to bring you full coverage for of the G8/20
summitacular series. Since it seems like a shameful waste of prime
liveblogging fodder to spend a single second longer holed up in my
hotel room than absolutely necessary, I'm going to hit the streets -- the streets between here and the media centre, anyway -- and report back soon.
In the meantime,
I've crunched this week's EKOS numbers, so feel free to chat about the
latest twists and turns in the comments. (Here's a question to get your
started: What the heck is up with British Columbia? Did it secretly
trade places with Saskatchewan just to see if the EKOSbots would
notice?)
