So much for the clean, green & pristine tourism image that British Columbia always tries to promote locally.

I had no idea, really ashamed of my home province then.

Plus a "piss" poor way of preventing the pee problem.

Wee 6 "pee" words in a sentence!

I mean to have an impact you'd have to build a lots of these and at $60000 a pop that will get way to expensive.

Besides Victoria besides being a government town (capital and all that*) is full of retirees. Just give a "Depends"---8482; subsidy.



*Though the public urination could just be drunk politicians after a piss-up in a Victoria pub.

Except that those are much cheaper, relocatable and have room for 4 people

At first glance I was pissed. But as an after thought. I really don't give a Crap.

Sadly that is case now in so many of our towns and cities.

And a good swift kick in the butt would cure it, as this guy proved....

To Victoria's credit they finally have addressed the issue. Waste treatment plants are due to be completed by 2016.

@Torplexed: Now I understand why you live at the dark side of the lagoon...

The darker it is, the better...I don't want to be able to see what's floating out there.
