Money down a $60K urinal
Jesse Kline has written an interesting piece in the Post this morning, calling into question the foolishness in many municipal expenses in Canada. Kline makes the link between bizarre and outlandish spending and the continuous search for larger revenue and increasing taxes. In other words, the greater the number of silly but highly expensive public projects, the more need for cash to pay for essential services there will be.
Kline cites examples like the $60K urinal in Victoria, and the undeterminedly pricey airport tunnel as well as the $25-million so-called peace bridge in Calgary. Typically, supporters attempt to justify these with reasons as foolish as the expenses.
For its part, the City of Calgary says its investment is well worth the money, because the bridge will attract tourists. Right, because I was going to take my Christmas vacation in Vegas, but I decided a nice stroll over a bright red bridge in -40° weather was a better idea.
An artisitic rendition of Calgary's "Peace Bridge."
