The Biggest Rubber Duck in the World

Yes, really. 

It was Canada Day while we were in Toronto, and this year was the 150th Anniversary  of Confederation. Cue Big Celebrations all over Canada.

Also cue some protests from First Nation people about how the 150th Anniversary of Confederation gives them nothing to celebrate, but I'l leave that there because it's complicated, and I am ignorant of the various arguments. 

For some reason the good people who run Toronto thought that the best way to celebrate Canada Day was to hire, at gi-normous expense, and from the US, the world's biggest rubber duck and float it on Lake Ontario in the middle of their city.

I honestly do not know where people get these ideas. 

That said, like many of the citizens of Toronto, we pitched up to look at it. 

And there it is. Make of it what you will.
