Holy crap.


How do they collect the sample? I mean, what's stopping someone from picking one of Stewie's nuggets from the my backyard and claim it as from their dog?
Then their little Fido would be free to crap all over the place.

It's not one thing, but the complete disregard for the long-term always baffled me. Every major decision in this city seems to be done with a myopic short-term viewpoint....you know, like always choosing the cheapo construction option, and then having to go back 5 years later to upgrade and pay twice what it would've cost to do it right in the first place.

It's like this city is being run by an accountant who is replaced every couple of years, thus only cares that the numbers make sense during his watch.

Psssst...look at the date that article was published. Also, the name of one of the vets quoted in the text should also be a give-away.

EDIT: Oh, that 22 million dollar walking bridge. They still doing that?

It's exactly what it looks like; a bridge over the Bow. In fact, it's the new ped bridge in Sunnyside.

Not a chance is that the most ridiculous thing done by council. In fact it's probably one of the smartest. If they had put it underground, our mass transit system would be in the same state as Edmonton's
