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.

I voted "no" because I'd rather see a public aquarium in Calgary! The REAL capital of Alberta.

But in principle we agree that there is an opportunity for a public aquarium in Alberta.

(same drugs as me?)

Edmonton is notorious for jacking stuff from Calgary...

SUCH AS:
  • Capital City...
  • Most of our misfortunate looking people...
  • Brilliant ideas like tiles for fish tanks instead of BB

I rest my case.
