Default Would you like to see a public aquarium in Edmonton ?

Random question time.

What do the members of Canreef think of Edmonton getting a public aquarium ? An actual good one that shows its self in a respectful and proud fashion, something perhaps a bit better than the "aquarium" at West Edmonton Mall.

Sure. But the chances are slmost zero this will ever happen.

As a tax payer... I already get dinged for enough.

And I doubt an individual will fork over the hundreds of thousands to do it correctly themselves.

So yes. It would be great. But I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I'm for a privatized business doing so. But not on the tax payer dollar.

Sorry Prot. :P

PS. I voted yes.

Edmonton already has the Muttart, which is awesome, and Calgary the zoo.

So let's compromise and put it in the middle. RED DEER, WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU.

Oh wait, isn't there already a reedonkulously big aquarium in Red Deer? We just need to make it publicish now. PARTY AT THE GRIZZ'S !!! Wooty!
