The dangers of leaving your democracy to others


Just got an early report on Best Of Regina voting trends--apparently, one of the leading contenders for the city's best building is...

Victoria Square Mall!

So, no Sask. Power building. No twin towers. No First Nations University. No Hotel Sask. No Legislature, no library, no, whatever that wacky neo-socialist apartment building is called on Broadway, no heritage architecture in the Warehouse District.

No, one of the leading vote-getters is...a shopping mall. (Nothing against the Victoria Square Mall, of course.)

You have just over three hours left to vote. E-mail bestof@prairiedogmag.com for a digital ballot.

You know what? Shopping malls aren't so bad. You know what's great about shopping malls? They aren't box stores. You can *gasp* walk from one store to another.

I like shopping malls just fine. But "Best Building"? In all of Regina? The Victoria Square mall? Really?????

Oh yeah, that is hilarious. Somebody might be having some April Fool's fun; "hey let's tell everyone we know to write in the Vic Square Mall".

At least they're paying attention. That's all you can ask for.
