Moose Jaw insults demand retribution

Re: “Downtown parking pitch takes swing at Moose Jaw,” July 31.

Holy jumping parking meters, Batman! There’s something really pouring in downtown Victoria and its not another rainstorm; it’s parking.

What’s this, the Downtown Victoria Business Association is dissing my hometown of Moose Jaw in a parking campaign?

Call the mayor’s office — this is a crisis of unimaginable scale! Maybe it’s time to have the Snowbirds at CFB Moose Jaw counter-attack with a flying-formation leaflet-bombing of Victoria’s downtown.

Short of that, this insult needs to come down to some sort of honourable duel lest the City of Moose Jaw respond with broadsides via chicken cannon, or at least two kids with a slingshot and firecrackers.

A cream-pie standoff at high noon in downtown Victoria, perhaps?

We Moose Javians take our city seriously and totally lack a sense of humour when our city’s fair name is mentioned in a satirical manner. Unless, of course, it’s in a hockey movie like Slap Shot or, yeah, I guess that one time in Seinfeld. That was OK, and, yeah, I forgot that famous standup comedian in Vegas. But you get the picture.

Moose Jaw is a great little place with some really good amenities downtown. Stop by and visit. Most of us even have a sense of humour. Robert (Rhino Bob) Thomas Moose Jaw
