too bad... — 1 year ago
One of the times I came to Canada, I noticed that there were baskets of flowers on every lamp post. I thought, “Wow, isn’t that pretty?” and as I was thinking this, the cab driver told me a little story about the lamp post flowers. Apparently a former mayor had every single street light changed so that it was able to carry a basket of flowers. They lost so much money trying to improve the appearance that the mayor lost his job. Sad, no? I dunno, that’s just one of my favorite memories about Canada. I was laughing so hard when the driver told me this. Just seems so ridiculous to me that the mayor would risk everything for flowers.
But…
Canada is a gorgeous place!
