Canada’s own Scotiabank was one of the targets of several bombs in the Mexican capital today. The growing political violence in Mexico is becoming a growing concern for both Canadian and US tourists.
“Monday’s explosions also occurred against the backdrop of ongoing conflicts in the southern state of Oaxaca, where protesters have maintained barricades in the capital city since May to press their demands for the resignation of PRI governor Ulises Ruiz. The demonstrators accuse Mr. Ruiz of rigging the 2004 election to win office and sending groups of gun-toting thugs to subdue his opponents.”
Thankfully no one was injured in the blasts. I would recommend using caution if you have Mexico in your travel plans.
