THE GREAT CONSTRUCTION MYSTERY
Road Closed.
Nobody Working.
Every Canadian has driven past a construction site and witnessed:
- 14 orange pylons
- 6 trucks
- 3 excavators
- 2 portable toilets
- 1 guy holding a coffee
And absolutely no construction.
Somewhere in Canada right now there's a road that's been under construction so long:
- children have grown up,
- graduated high school,
- and returned as project managers.
Witness Statement
"I drove through here in 2018 and they're still working on the same 40 feet."
The official project sign says:
Expected Completion: Fall 2022
Nobody has had the heart to change it.
Meanwhile:
A beaver can build a dam overnight.
A raccoon can dismantle a garbage bin in 90 seconds.
A goose can occupy an entire parking lot before breakfast.
But humans?
We're entering Year 7 of replacing a curb.

Final Thoughts
Canada isn't a country.
It's a giant construction zone where nobody knows what the final product is.
At this point the orange pylons should just become part of the flag.
