I had been back in Vancouver less than an hour when my friend John asked me if I had heard about the giant robotic dinosaurs the city was planning on installing in Stanley Park.
“The what?” I asked, thinking I had misheard him.
“Dinosaurs! Giant animatronic dinosaurs! In Stanley Park!”
He explained that the city planned to install 30 life-size (life-size!) robotic dinosaurs in Stanley Park in order to attract more tourists.
I thought he was joking. Until I saw a story about it in the newspaper the next day.
Who in their right mind would think that installing giant robotic dinosaurs in one of Canada’s most beautiful parks is a good idea? Is Vancouver being run by a bunch of five-year-olds?
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. People come to Stanley Park to see nature, not robots.
Please tell me Vancouver isn’t actually going ahead with this moronic idea.
