Police Escort in Calgary Today - Who Dat?
About noon on John Laurie - a whole bunch of motorcycle officers shut-down traffic and escorted a few black limos east (towards the airport I assume).
Who famous was in town today?

Stuff like that always happens and you never hear/see anything about it afterwards... it's like they don't want you to know it happened.

I've seen a similar convoy doing something as simple as transporting Normie Kwong (in his role as LT governor) to official functions.

That would have been my guess... Peter McKay.
Thought those meetings wrapped a day ago though.

Ask the RCMP. It's their protocol.

Then I think the police escort would be fine. I am sure it was paid for by the US government anyway.
