I leave the country on vacation and everything goes to hell, it seems.
First, Ottawa gets hit by an earthquake. I'm glad nobody was injured!
Then, the Provincial "government" very quietly designates downtown Toronto as a "public work" so that they can apply the Public Works Protection Act for a little while. The Black Block accomplished sundry vandalism with impunity, then police rounded up and arrested harmless protesters (too many links to mention; just search YouTube for dozens of videos on "police g20 toronto"), injuring an elderly amputee in the process. All that to conclude that governments should cut their deficits by half... it looks like the cuts won't be coming out of the police budgets, though!

I may well do that for some part of the occasion... I assume that things will carry on in some form into the evening?

Haha, welcome to the world of going off-grid for awhile and then seeing the madness that transpired while you were away :D When I returned to civilization from the Spanish wilderness, I remember quoting Captain Jack Sparrow with "I leave you people alone for just a minute and look what happens, everything's gone to pot!"
