Actually, Ivan, holding it at noon makes sense as we can draw on the people on lunch in the Financial District. Ted Woloshyn from CFRB is the MC and Paul and Carol Mott are broadcasting live from the scene. The only thing that could hamper turnout in my opinion is the weather...they're calling for freezing rain. I took the day off, too. Much looking forward to it.

Right on. I'm going down with a couple friends, my one good friend - the Ukrainian, is insisting on burning the French flag......as much as I would take great pleasure in watching him do it, along with the Quebec flag, I'm going to stop him - I've made sure I'm the one going to the flag store today so he can't get his hands on one.
