He writes : ** " ** And I still can’t believe I didn’t recognize Ottawa and the parliament buildings. As this piece began to come together, I really enjoyed the architecture of the buildings I was destroying. In fact I enjoyed them so much I really wanted to know where this place was, so I searched and searched and finally someone walked past my desk and made a comment about me destroying Canadian parliament. Considering I’m Canadian, I guess I should have recognized them.

The scenario depicted above would probably cause some OC Transpo delays.
