According to the Ottawa Citizen
The Parliament Buildings are in such bad shape that a minor earth tremor or lightning strike could set off an avalanche of stone and brick that could injure or kill someone, says one of Canada’s leading stonemasons.
“The state of disrepair is truly alarming,” says Robert “Bobby” Watt, whose projects include the Library of Parliament, Centre Block and the Ontario Legislature. “There’s $500 million in emergency repairs that needs to be done now before people get killed. You can’t just let it fall down.”
The bunker jury is still out on whether or not federal politicians are people and therefor deserving of [at least] some protection, but that avalanche of stone and brick thing is certainly something I’d buy tickets to watch.
How’s about we lay ‘em all off for a couple of years while it’s being fixed - ya just never know, after the Canadian people find out that they can get along just fine without ‘em there would be no real reason to call them back now would there?
You come back from fishing with anarchy. Feisty.
My only problem with anarchy is that I’ve recently become a curmudgeon. Anarchy would require me to both hope and participate, and I am just snuggling into my newly sewn apathy-scarf that is my generation’s birthright.
