I blame Rick Bell and people like Corey Morgan. Let it go, man.

Cory Morgon actually liked the Bow Flow.
I'm going to disagree with you on remembering petty things. It's important.
The Peace Bridge because of the lack of tendering
The fluoride in the water supply
The Blue ring and Bowfort towers
Closing down memorial for day without a purpose when 17th would have made way more sense
All these are reminders of government failing in public ridiculous ways. When decisions like this are repeated in points to systems not working in government and these systems should be being reviewed and fixed. For example the Bowfort towers after the blue ring show the changes to the Art policy weren't effective. They need to add that the art can be placed in a public space near the project site rather than in the project site.
Floride in the water reminds us that the provincial government should have better minimum standards and we should elect people who listen to science.
The peace bridge that proper rendering should be done for all projects
Learning lessons from previous mistakes is important and the more ridiculous the decision the better flag it is for remembering not to do it in the future.
