Why is it G20? I remember when it was in Georgia it was just the G8. What 12 shitty ass countries have they added?

I remember the G8 conference was just a big fuck up here. The only good part to it was watching anarchists and hippies get the shit beat out of them by security the week after on the local news.

The G8 and G20 coexisted for a while but the G20 is kind of taking over since anyone who wasn't one of the primary nations opposing those dirty commies wasn't in the G8 (originally G6).

They found the fertilizer in Toronto and say that there will be no charges laid. Several members of the public recognized the guy, who also turned himself in to police.

There has been no explanation as to why he misrepresented himself (or if he didn't, but store staff were trying to cover for themselves), but it's being referred to as a "gardening incident"

The G8 will be meeting up in cottage country, prior to the G20 meeting in Toronto. Our wonderful government decided to blow millions on a meeting that will be over in a few hours, then shuttle them down here for the real meet. So far they've spent $1.2B on security.

It was previously the G6, but now those "dirty commies" are part of the G8.

But if it gets worse then maybe we'll get back to the combined show, but in the nicer venue?

Then really this guy would have been doing you a favor by wiping out the current venue. I'm kidding of course.

That venue is the nicer one. The other is a hole.
