I know it's been a while. What with work and my general laziness, blogging hasn't exactly been on my mind for quite some time. But I thought, as it's such a nice day out there, I may as well barricade myself indoors and write up a blog post to ease my online guilt.
So the Bank of Canada is unveiling these new bank notes that we'll be using by the end of 2013. The $100 bill is already in circulation and the $50 should be out by the end of November. However, shortly after the release of the $100 bill, a couple focus groups got a little crotchety over the lady on the back, peering into the microscope as they thought she looked a little too Asian. I don't think these people have been to Vancouver or Toronto recently.
First of all, I gotta wonder where the hell the Bank of Canada is getting these folks! Are they just walking down the street and are burlap-sac'ed into a black van? Are they from the country? Why are they seeing all these strange things in our new notes? I just don't get it. I've looked them over and don't really see the Asian women, or the skull and crossbones they are talking about on the $100 and $50. And so what if there is an Asian person on the $100?!
Apart from this, HRM has a new survey out about Point Pleasant Park. It's pretty quick. I thought I'd share my answer to a question with all of you. Click here for the SURVEY.
