Ha. Good point.

They held one of these stupid events in Calgary in 2002. I saw a "motorcade" with about 10 cop cars and motorbikes (lights flashing) "protecting" four or five big black SUV's roaring down Blackfoot.

You'd think Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill were going by, it was such a display.

Turned out it was a few low-level functionaries from (IIRC) Italy who had been having dinner at that restaurant in Fish Creek, and they were going back to their hotel. It was absurd. The Big Shots weren't even in the city.
