What’s happening June 23, 2010:
Police hit Forest Hill yesterday and found what they say are G20 related bombs and weapons. They’re still working out the details, but in the meantime you can think about the summit while waiting for the Yonge TTC line to fully reopen.

Over in the Gulf, the judge who overturned Obama’s offshore drilling ban has plenty of investments tied to oil and the companies that need to drill, baby, drill. The U.S. is appealing his judgment and oil firms aren’t even thinking of starting up until that appeal runs its course.

Meanwhile, whales got some more bad news when talks to reduce Japan’s, Norway’s and Iceland’s whale hunting practices were harpooned.
