I think the reason I like them so much is because they do remind me of Vancouver level architecture. They definitely look a lot more solid in terms of construction than a lot of the crap going on downtown too.

The copper roofs on Parliament are green. Everyone can see that. But Nixon says the green did not come naturally. In his book, he quotes Doug Pickard, the foreman of a roofing contractor: “Roofers used to mop horse urine on the new copper to make it go green faster.”
