    Checkpoints and permits, 4 months before the Games.


    Just need automatic weapons at the gates and you have Mexico. :)

    Better idea, boycott the dam games.

    Wow, I wonder how the local business owners feel about the loss of income as people turn to shop outside Vancouver.

    "We need everyone to think of ways to reduce vehicle traffic into downtown Vancouver, on the Lions Gate and Iron Workers Memorial Second Narrows bridges, on the Sea to Sky Highway, and in Whistler by at least 30 per cent," said Terry Wright, VANOC's executive vice-president of services and Games operations.


    Enormous inconvenience for the benefit of IOC royalty and a few champion athletes for games that are still four months away.
