If such a group actually existed when Farrell's half thought out idea came public, we would have known then, and the uproar would have been much less than it was.
As I said, the group that did organize the Bow River Flow deserves credit for making the attempt. They made something out of one of the more ridiculously stupid ideas created by any member of city council in some time. And hell, if they manage to promote it into an annual thing that creates a legitimate need to shut the road down, then more power to them.
But Farrell deserves no credit for this. Someone else gave use to her idiocy, but her idiocy is still defined by wanting to close a major road for four weekends with no thought as to what purpose it would serve.
