I don't know about the strafing rice farmers, but yeah I do have that weird thought about being in a helicopter. Especially when its night, you're on the high way going fast. That and Paint it Black does the same thing.

If you replace Rice Farmers with damn dirty hippies you're onto something.

I imagine driving around in your old Jeep at night with the top down would feel a lot like riding in a huey.

I feel like I should go down to the demonstration to get my fair share of abuse.

Traffic is usually so bad on Memorial and Crowchild I can't even tell on google maps if there is an actual blockade or not.

Nah. There are more cops than people. Although a DJ just showed up. I'm bored though. Oh wait...quick swarm time!!!

Also didnt know we had larch trees...



So that lasted about as long as the crossing light. I'm going to get some fried chicken at the Korean place.

There are some around:

If you zoom in on an area like Confederation Park there are some there, but they show up as "other" so it's hard to spot them.

Coincidentally I think Morrissey is in town this week. He's not here though so not likely to hang this particular DJ.

I fully support the stopping of rush hour traffic for any climate change alarmism.

Probably no more so than what's already happened. Most of these people aren't going to travel to remote rural BC to be irritating pests. Not unless the Americans funnel quite a bit more money through Tides et al to pay more professional protesters.

I hope you are right.

This feels more grassroots/accessible.
