I do agree. I knew Nathan and that's why I showed support for someone thinking of him to be honored by a bridge in his name. I think the thing that gets most people is that the name 'Peace Bridge' really isn't enough because:
1) There already is a peace bridge in Canada, among other things that are called 'Peace ______' like the Peace arch
2) Peace is really too generic to really and truly honor our troops, and reeks of trying to come down on all four sides of the issue.
I have no idea why we couldn't have called it 'Calgary Highlander Bridge,' 'Rememberance Bridge,' or something else that specifically honors the troops.
I also realize the fact that we're talking about this instead of the cost shows that Bronco is a brilliant politician.
