Great post Floatable1, you said it all. I recommend investors read that post again.

BTW are you really Mr. Floatie in disguise?

Floatie — the cheeky mascot known for protesting Victoria's decades-long practice of dumping raw sewage into its surrounding waters — is officially retiring. The mascot was created in 2004 by elementary school teacher James Skwarok as part of the larger citizen group — the People Opposed to Outfall Pollution, or POOP.

The six-foot tall anthropomorphic piece of feces was a regular at events and on social media to draw attention to Victoria's lack of sewage treatment.

With construction underway on the region's new sewage treatment plant, Skwarok says it was time to bid adieu to the gigantic piece of poo.

"My friends and I have worked so hard to raise awareness and keep the pressure on," he said.

"Today is not about me. It's about the movement of caring and determined people on both sides of the Strait of Juan de Fuca who have pushed so long to get sewage treatment to Victoria."
