The Progressive Conservatives have been pounding away at the government’s funding of a Toronto festival featuring this giant inflatable Dutch duck for days. In this country we have a giant nickel, a giant Easter egg, a giant hockey stick, a giant goose, a giant beaver, a giant Muskoka chair. The studio claims that the duck coming to Canada is a rip-off of its own copyrighted giant duck. The question of whether this is a real or counterfeit giant duck need not detain us here. At last check, replacing the ageing planes would cost most of a billion dollars — 6,200 years’ worth of duck festivals — and come on, we could live without them.
