In Topic: Lackluster Fireworks Observation
Posted 5 Jul 2008
I don't know about the Montreal one. They do have a fireworks competition there and it appears to be choreographed to orchestral music, but I don't know whether it's called "symphony of fire." The Symphony of Fire in Vancouver almost lost its funding when folks decided it was wrong to let the legal-for-sale product Benson and Hedges cigarettes sponsor it. Now, like a growing section of businesses in Vancouver, it is sponsored by a bank. Apparently it's ok to let corporate banking own everything but not ok for cigarette companies to sponsor international fireworks "contests."
Anyway, I got pretty tired of fireworks a while ago, but if you ever do come to Vancouver around the time SoF is going on, get yourself inot a boat and watch it from the water.
I hope we do get a chance to get to Vancouver some day - not just to see fireworks. But you are right about seeing them from the water. It is vastly better.

We have this corporate-sponsored international fireworks "contest" here every year. It's called the "symphony of fire" and different teams create these great displays of pyrotechnics timed to orchestral accompaniment. With that going on every year, it's impossible to be enthusiastic about Canada Day.
Civ, are you talking about the international fireworks "contest" in Montreal? Cemetery Guy and I once saw that display during a visit to Montreal and I must say it was the best fireworks I have seen in my very long life!

HAY U GUYS DID U KNOW THAT ELLEN PAGE IS FROM HALIFAX! THAT'S IN CANADA U SEE!
I knew that interesting tidbit, because the fucking media up here would not SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT, from the initial promotion of this pretentious movie, up to Oscar night, when Ellen Page (WHO IS CANADIAN, BTW) was nominated for Best Actress, and lost to that French woman who starred in that horribly depressing French movie about that French singer.

I'm sorry, but I know what a budgie is. I also have heard of a Budgerigar because my friend from Holland calls them that. Am I disowned?
