Re: Trouble merging Google Calendar
If I hit this url directly from my browser:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/0d9ifhssge8v11noc3udsnlj2c%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics?noCache

I get this event (a sample duplicate, although the name differs from the other event with the same time) in the raw feed:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161101T190000
DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161101T210000
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20161108T075959Z;BYDAY=TU,TH
DTSTAMP:20161108T211724Z
UID:tporb8qk2nohfu2mll0ohvba5g@google.com
CREATED:20161031T202050Z
DESCRIPTION:
LAST-MODIFIED:20161101T050418Z
LOCATION:Pattison's West Skating Center\, 34222 Pacific Hwy S\, Federal Way
\, WA 98003\, United States
SEQUENCE:1
STATUS:CONFIRMED
SUMMARY:Inline Practice
TRANSP:OPAQUE
END:VEVENT

Note the RRULE (Recurrence Rule). This event occurs every Tues and Thus. Perhaps the WP plugin you are using does not support recurring events? In any case, if they come in the feed (and they do), we have no way to know that they should be ignored.

This is just one example; there appear to be other dupes. Also, perhaps Google does deliver a current feed depending on the origin of the request (ie wordpress.com, facebook.com)? I find this doubtful, but we must recognize it as a possibility.
