One piece at a time, we're going to crumble into the river that surrounds us.
This time, part of a tunnel structure - designed to block the sun out of drivers' eyes - just fucking fell on the highway.
Add that to overpasses crumbling, two bridges in need of immediate replacement - including the one that receives the most vehicles in all of Canada on a daily basis - and slowly wonder where all the payola money has been going. We've paid for these structures a million times over and yet they fall before our eyes, at half their life expectancy.
So many people have to account for this, from the shady construction companies who built them to the blind government officials who paid for them to the governing parties who were supposed to invest in their maintenance.
Remember when we used to chop the heads off our leaders, or carried pitchforks and lanterns to their houses, or feathered-and-tarred criminals? Good times.
