I just want to encourage everyone in Winnipeg to keep throwing up as many obstacles to the water park as they can. Oppose it with all that you have, write your MLA, MP and councillor, and make the company feel awful, just like you did with the hog plant, because once you toss them out of the city like you did the hog plant, we will welcome them with open arms out here in Neepawa.
Thank you, Winnipeg, for being so, er, you. Because of you our town is prospering more than it has in years, and we look forward to hosting your water park out here as well. We welcome business and recreation with open arms because your cast-offs are our jewels.
Oh, it's only two hours to drive here from Winnipeg, so come and spend your money at your future water park.

Re: Project going down the drain? (April 26). If the city can build a water park without any information on the project and hand out money to whomever, this question begs to be asked.
Why must I submit to the city a survey certificate, drawings of the interior and elevations so I can build a 400-square-foot addition to my home?
I also have to apply for a variance to build on the existing property line. The cost for the variance is $409. Now I have a nice yellow sign in my yard advising the whole world what I am doing.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander, don't you think?

Would you put a water park at the gates of Auschwitz?
