The U.S. State Department has issued a warning today to Americans living in Toronto or planning to visit during the G20 summit to avoid city’s downtown. The warning states the
“U.S. Citizens should avoid traveling in or thourgh downtown Toronto during the Summit.”
To which Mayor David Miller responded,
“While I respect the State Department’s right to do what it thinks is in the best interests of U.S. citizens, I feel this alert is an over-reaction,” ”I would encourage everyone, whether they be citizens of the U.S., Canada or any other country living in or visiting Toronto to experience the man outstanding attractions, excellent restaurants or vibrant neighbourhoods that populate our great city.”
Premier Dalton McGuinty said,
“We’re only talking a few days, and after that this is still one of the best places in the world to visit. It’s just a hop, skip and a jump over on the other side of the border.”
