Heck they can create a lot of potholes with that much money. However another million dollars worth of potholes would make them like identical twins to us.=)

Oh goodie, a twinning program. Those have always proven to increase a cities tax base. Maybe they can show us how to build roads and plan intersections too.
Hong Kong Kinsley, now that has a nice wring to it. Get it?

I still can't pronounce the name of Quesnel's Japanese sister city. Is there any benefit ? Does the mayor of Quesnel regularly visit Japan ?

"A cheque for $110 thousand was presented today to mark the final installment for the Province's share of the funding for the new overhead video screen and instant replay system."

That's good news, we needed a new clock. (*bang, *crash, whump..whump..whump)

An aside, does anybody know how to change a flat tire in a 3' deep pothole ?

Just curious....
