The convention is winding down so I took a hike off between panels and concerts to find large government buildings, statues, parks, and critters.
Louis Riel got hanged for being a traitor back in the day, apparently for insisting that EVERYONE had rights instead of just the the white, male, French-Canadians of Ontario and Quebec. Today he’s a Founding Father out in Manitoba with a huge statue.
Plus ça change…
Soooooooooo many Canada Geese! There must have been 200-250 or more in this group, plus stragglers all over the grounds. They were calm, lots of signs warning folks against feeding them, so no expectations on their part. But watch where you step… IYKYK!!
Way up high, apparently 25’ tall, covered in a small fortune in gold, and anatomically correct, is Golden Boy. I have no idea who is represented by the four sets of figures on the corners beneath him. Perhaps I’ll check out the power of my Google-foo when I get home.
Which, with luck, will be tomorrow evening. Wish us luck!
We Love The Stars Too Fondly 
Glad that Riel got his worth revised!
