Special Combination Orders of the Day/ EKOS of the Week - G8/20 edition!

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?)
