There is only one 'hard Poo man' on council, so for entertainment value alone, I think you pick him.

I also should ask if the fireworks displays in Calgary on Canada Day are any good. The local minor-league baseball team here puts on a better display every Saturday night than what the city does for Canada Day every year.

We'll be shooting off fireworks on Canada Day. It's always a fun way to cap off a good day. I didn't realize it's racist, but I don't think that'll stop us. Now, if someone said fireworks are for pedos, I might change my tune.

Ya, that probably isn't going to happen.

Will there be outrage over the cancelled lightshow now?

I found the cancellation of the fireworks, but none of the other festivities, was really an odd approach to take. I have seen enough fireworks, so if they really wanted to cancel them for any other logical reason like cost, traffic, staff overtime, I would be fine with it.

We still have all of Stampede, New Years, Globalfest fireworks. We could live without the Canada Day ones.

All this end up doing was what Silver was talking about by giving the Yohos / Cory Morgans of the world a new talking point.

Pretty tight timeline to arrange a fireworks show, hopefully there's no shortage still like there was last year. And are they going to be able to find a fireworks company that isn't booked? I feel this could get even more embarrassing.

They’ve cancelled the cancellation. I don’t know who had won or lost!

As a marginalized fan of science fiction, I take great offense at hearing about the cancelled fog machines and laser beams.

I demand reparations and special treatment immediately!

I concur.
