Something went wrong on Saturday when Peter and Ken, two City of Vancouver Security guards at the Carnegie Centre, were escorting a guy out of the front of the building. The man had a bottle of SoBe  orange drink in his hand and suddenly turned and rammed it into Peter's forehead.

I talked with some folks in the know. No not on the nod and they all say Guard is not a proper discription of their forte.

Peter works for Security at Carnegie.  He reports to Skip, Head of Security.  He stands at the front door, watching people arriving to make certain that nobody who is barred or under the influence of drugs or alcohol enters the building.   He also does rounds, checking the building for security problems.  He intervenes in physical altercations and even verbal disagreements.  He evicts people on occasion, escorting them out of the building.  That's a Security guard.

The Security staff at Carnegie do not wear uniforms, presumably because the leftie Board and management wish to create a pretense of egalitarianism.  But when a member is barred from the building, often without even being given a reason in writing so that they can exercise their right to appeal, they find out quickly how thin a  veneer the egalitarianism is.
