We’ve managed to out-class our nation’s capital and a lame-ass Quebec city to be the pick of the Shriner’s for their new Shriner’s Hospital of Canada. I use the words “out-class” specifically. At no point during the 62-month ordeal did London stoop to the name-calling and whining that the other two cities seemed to base their entire presentation on. London didn’t even respond to the other cities’ cries of foul. London’s message was positive right from the beginning – even when speaking of the other cities. Ottawa has tossed out phrases such as “sub-par” as well as stating that if Ottawa didn’t get it they’d rather see Montreal get it than London. London, even when discussing, the other cities, still spoke positively of them – just MORE positively of London. We Rock. The ordeal isn’t over yet. The Shriners still require a 2/3 majority vote by its membership in Baltimore in July. You can bet that before then both Montreal and Ottawa will be slinging more mud that an American political campaign. Maybe once they vote to build the hospital here Montreal will get so pissed off they’ll go whining to whatever person pretends to lead the province now and demand that Quebec secede from Canada again. Then we can build a really really tall wall between Ontario and Quebec – with no gates.
