it’s like the 4th of july, only we’re having it on the third
i’ve never heard of anything so ridiculous, well i have, but this is right up there.
can you imagine saying to a city of 1 million americans “this year for scheduling reasons we’re having 4th of july fireworks a day early”. there would be no end to the uproar. it’d be a lynch mob.
yet, here in our quaint city of calgary, some genius has decided since we had some flooding in the large park – prince’s island, they’ll cancel the fireworks and celebration events, reschedule them in our football stadium and move the canada day events to a day earlier. huh? insert a slew of expletives here. and yet, there has been no backlash or calls to the media saying how ridiculous this is – from anyone.
canadians and calgarians are tolerant to a fault. unbelievable.
by the way, we may move christmas to the 21st this year so it coincides with the winter solstice, no particular reason – just for shits and giggles.
