Posting Duplicate Content to blog

I still don't see how you can't re-write that and add some of your own content. Maybe history about the event, 'must see' things ect...

Yes do it, the canonical tag can't be used in this case because the original content is not from your site.
It's a tag that is used with inner pages of your website.

No, only this where /blog/ is the location of the page that you don't want to index.

Code:

Disallow: /blog/

I plan on posting events to a blog of mine that are local to my city. Since there really isn't a way to make this content unique, I'm going to simply copy and paste it.

I was doing a little research and found that if I use the tag, "<link href="http://www.example.com/canonical-version-of-page/" rel="canonical" />" with the example link leading back to the original page where I found the event, I should be good and won't get penalized with duplicate content, correct?

Is there any better way to go about marking these blog posts as, "not to be indexed."
