If Hamilton gets a sign, I hope they make it large enough and build it on the escarpment, a-la Hollywood sign

Montreal's first "glow in the dark" mural. By british artist Onur. It's in Chinatown and I think it's very cool :-)

It's funny, cause this is something I've always wanted to see, and a couple of months later we have that. Life is funny sometimes

There is a Canada 150 sign in downtown Regina. I believe there are 19 of them in cities across the country. Some are a bit smaller.
