Canadian Government to Jam Radio Signals 571
An anonymous reader submits: "According to this article, the Canadian government has given the military and RCMP permission to jam radio signals during the G8 summit and the Pope's visit. I suppose that the stated reason would be to prevent terrorists from communicating with each other, but I have to wonder whether it's also being done to keep those pesky protesters from effectively organizing at the G8. And if this action manages to block wireless 911 calls, and someone dies because of that, who's going to be willing to step up to the plate and take the blame?"

So you're a bad guy too. Where's the counter-example?

There isn't even a city where the G8 is officially being held (Kananaskis) [gov.ab.ca] and Calgary [calgary.ab.ca] is neither a federal nor a provincial capital.
Toronto [toronto.on.ca], is not Canada's [www.gc.ca] capital either.
Ottawa [ottawa.on.ca] holds that dubious honour. Toronto just thinks [google.ca] it's the captial of Canada and, of course, many people around the world get fooled.
For good time, you can always check what our southern neighbours [whitehouse.gov] think about us. [cia.gov]
