It's better than making people go to Barrie! The only way you can get there is by driving.

You know that they'll charge like ten bucks for a bottle of water...unless that law they passed has kicked in now.

It's odd they're not having it at a like... not historical... but... I guess "touristy" would be the correct term... place. All of the others (already announced) are. Lookie:

UK – Hyde Park, London
France – Palais de Versailles, Paris
Germany – Brandenburg Gate, Berlin
Italy – Circus Maximus, Rome
USA – Museum of Art, Philadelphia

i don't think there are any "touristy" places that would be big enough in toronto.

They could have it at the top of the CN Tower! :nod:

the tower ninja's dont approve

as for the location
they originally wanted to do it on parliment hill in ottawa but the govt didnt want for security concerns
and grass concerns

So naturally...Barrie. Honestly, just move it to Vancouver.

Hope · Post by **Hope** » 6/18/2005, 1:56 am

Hope · Post by **Hope** » 6/18/2005, 1:56 am
