Way to go, Jiri, Dion, and all the rest of you whiners. Keep hating something that didn't affect you in the slightest. At least the Peace Bridge cost $25m.

Thanks for telling me how I think.
You have completely missed the point of my argument against the festival - and instead of trying to engage in a discussion you have simply dismissed it as whining. Bravo.
Fine rather than try to say again why I oppose this here is a column that sums up rather nicely a lot of the objections to it:

And no I'm not a Rick Bell fan at all - but on this issue I do agree with him.
It's not about this festival in and of itself - it's about deeper issues and this is just another example of what has been wrong with how our city has been run.
