vivid colours and it was a rare nice day in the city.
The building in the foreground that looks like a warehouse - or, as I like to call it, a Speedy Muffler Shop - is the Canada Pavilion that cost nearly $10 million to build and is under investigation by the provincial association of architects for violations. It was designed by a cheap outfit from Chicago - or the lowest bidder that appealed to our Reform Conservative Harper government. The government left the decision to the last minute and the contractor had 81 days to deliver what is supposed to showcase Canada.
Any other government would have given the job to a Canadian firm.
It represents just one of the embarrassing corporate/political gaffes of these Olympics.
