The minority Reform-con government, dealing with the G8/20 buildup and now the fall-out, neglected to mention Shanghai. They are flying this under the radar.

Except that rumours abound about government MPs,MLAs, etc. are being tempted by Chinese businessmen, beautiful “working girls” as young as 14. Our innocent (cough) lads of the Great White North are being blackmailed, etc.etc. all in Shanghai. Ok, I’ll admit, most of this colour commentary has come from one of the Con’s own backbenchers. Everyone knows MP Rob Anders is a complete loon and Harper does not let him loose in polite company. But it does not explain why Harpo is keeping Shanghai secret. And the true cost of it.

Football team can fill in 100 000 places stadium and amaze them… why not a design by a football team?? you never know migh be amazing to… There is some very nice pavilion (concept design etc) for 2010 expo but the canadian one is not one of them… The cirque du soleil is still stucked in 1980 1990 attidude toward design and this attemp to get out of it is not an happy one and lack any real intensity and rigorousness … the show inside might be great (they are a circus they are used to making show) but the building itself look like an unfinished draft.

It is not because we have the technology to build everything that every thing is great and it not because a Canadian wood is used to clad a building that it make the building a great canadian work of art

For the Canadian pavilion, The cirque knows how to move people in – deliver a great time- move people out and give them something to remember. They never failed and you can be sure it will be amazing. 35000 people everyday will go through it.
The design of the pavilion represent two arms holding people, the outside is made of wood from british columbia.

I remain speechless!

OK! OK! I can’t say it in polite pulic!
