Human Rights Museum
4/28/2008 at 6:55 PM
l'm not sure how anyone one feels about this big dream of the Aspers to build this Crystal Palace they call the Canadian Human Rights Museum that is costing taxpayers millions of dollars,,now l hear that MPIC is donating 1 million dollars of there reserve funds to the museum.Hydro is thowing in another 1 million.
l don't think these crown corp.should be giving millions to this project when there are lots of other things that could use money.
If MPIC has am extra 1 million dollars of our money laying around,maybe they should be giving us a bigger refund that they over charged us for..
The museum is now estimated to cost $20 million a year to run, and $14 million of that, says Gail Asper, Izzy's daughter and the driving force behind the project, must come from the federal government if the project is to go ahead. "Its survival is contingent on the federal government contributing 70 per cent of the operating costs,"
This is fine for the Aspers who seem to have money coming out their Arse !! ,but what about the average Joe trying to make ends meet !! How many people are going to travel to see a Human Rights Museum ?? l think most people have had enough of the Human Rights bu-sh-t already !!
