You are correct that $100,000 in 1907 money would take $33-35 million today.
To make a better comparison than the pictures, the amount of public money the leaders in 1907 used to build a public bridge that lasted 100 years is being used by today’s leaders to replace a 500 gas vehicle municipal fleet with electric vehicles, and they will be lucky to get 5 years out of them.
He didn’t move a rock, that would have been much cheaper. He made a fake rock out of plastic and placed it, which makes it “art” in today’s lefty culture.

This is one of your best ever, Kate…simple, but devastating.
Money to burn … and your Indian chicks for free. You figure out which Indian … both types.
L – “Citiots” a term applicable for those, who have earned the nickname.
For some the honorary term “Your Worship” in addressing a particular mayor is satire.
Your government obviously have rocks in their heads.
I had no idea Saskatchewan was all out of rocks. What will you do when you’re all out of tax payers?
That is a very good & apt analogy Kate.

You got University Bridge fixed and open yet? What a pain having that closed is.

Manitoba has a 17-span bridge to nowhere, built and abandoned before it ever got used.
