The Intransigent Faction

So, remember when I called the Liberals "Tory-lite" in the 2015 Canadian election thread? That's been proven apt yet again. It turns out the Liberals will go ahead with the "Victims of Communism Memorial" the Conservatives had planned, but on a smaller scale and slightly more out of the way than if it were right next to the Supreme Court.
But wait! It gets even better:
The government plans to hold a national competition in 2016 to choose a revised design that fits with the memorials new location and budget, which has been scaled back to $3 million from $5.5 million. (The Conservative government, which had pledged more than $4 million to the project, already spent $370,000, Joly revealed.)
The government will launch public consultations early next year. Canadians across the country will have the chance to have their voices heard from the outside of the memorial design process through the final selection, Joly said. The aim is to complete the memorial by 2018.
Oh! How about a worker on a forklift, chasing down a capitalist? That sounds perfect for the public square, and it would fit right in after the revolution. :grin:
