The Extraordinary League of Busybodies

 By definition, all those who fled Canada and had successful startups in California are our best and brightest.  The rest must be considered the same as remnants in the UK.  All their brightest came here at one time, and the gene has vanished there.  Think of the Manchester Guard.

If we can get the Canfornians back then part of the social obligation for special tax treatment is to be part of the League.  Much like my role in the old company, there are no barriers for sniffing out the stupidity.  (They would have less of the consequences).  My consequence was going insane.

For example, if there was a popular movement for "LRT designed in Ottawa", they could smash that.  Massive stupidity like the Niagara Tunnel could not exist.  I remember one stupid requirement for transit caused millions of damage without benefit.  

Even the old company could not hide behind 'commercial considerations'.  Can you imagine the effect on Alberta?  They could only estimate the true cost of a stupidity.  They would also raise money.  Monopolists, like bald guys who drink too much, would be excluded.

Neat, will never happen.

LRT designed in Ottawa Lol
My favorite is the new extension they built in a trench so no one would see it above grade. Then the designer is then shocked when it fills with water and floods after each rain storm. - I still haven’t figured out how they plan to get the snow out.
