Pickle Lake? 😉

Since the anarchists had no effect whatsoever on the world leaders, this doesn’t make any sense.

The so-called “anarchists” weren’t anarchists, anyway, at least not for the most part. As the arrests pile up it’s becoming apparent most were just criminals not motivated by any political point.

Actually, I was thinking of Osnaburgh near Pickle Lake, but yes, Pickle Lake would be appropriate.

Yeah. And there seems to be complaints about these shit disturbers not being able to riot without police interference…

How much would it cost to stage these same summits at one of the scientific posts in Antartica? I know it would be a bit inconvenient for hookers and gigolos, but I’m sure the delegates could forego these perks for a week each year, if it meant saving the human race from itself.

More, in all likelihood.

It would cost more than rounding up the property destroying anarchists and depositing them in Antarctica.

Conrad Black’s wife was a commie. Perhaps the anarchists should move to their place in the Bridle Path, while future conference attendees bunk in with neighbours.

To round up the property destroying anarchists, you’d still have to hold a convincing pretend summit to get them all in one place. Unless you are planning on door-to-door pick ups anyway.
