Cost is roughly the same, designed by people overseas, still doesn't serve cars and yep is still only going to serve a small percentage of calgarians at the end of the day. But this bridge, this bridge wasn't written about in the sun every day for a month. good game calgary.

Yeah, Global had a story on this the other day and I meant to come here and post almost word-for-word what you just said.
Same cost. Foreign designer. No one will use it. These were THE arguments against the Peace bridge. Yet Global's story on this bridge was very positive, saying it's attracting none of the controversy. I actually stared speechless at the TV for a minute, with my jaw halfway to the floor. My comment to the S.O. was "does anyone ever actually THINK about what they say anymore???".
I don't remember who, but several SSP'ers even ranted against the Peace bridge. Where are they in this thread?
