Well for a start, they have 12 million people and we have one million... in fact they have more people lining the parade route to cheer on than we have living in the city total...

I wish we had something like this, my daughter was glued to the tv watching the big colorful floats. I'd love to bring her to one.

I wanted to bring her to the Santa parade last weekend, but she was sick and it was to cold out.

I'm always so embarassed by Victoria's dinky fireworks shows. Whenever we would travel on our boat to littleUS towns, they were always so partiotic, and had the best fireworks displays no matter how small the town was. I always feel sorry for the poor Americans that are in Victoria for our holidays and they have to watch our pitiful show. I was at Symphony Splash in the summer and the fire works had just ended. I was getting on the little harbour ferry to go back to my friends condo, and these tourists actually asked me when the fireworks show was going to start. I felt like an idiot explaining they had just happened!

I'm watching the parade right now too. I forgot it was on until I read this thread. It's so cool!! Much better than the stupid clowns and news anchors waving at the people on the side of the road when we have our parades.

I guess it all comes down to corporate funding, since a lot of the biggest and coolest floats and balloons are from major companies like Fisher Price, etc. It's all a big advertisement, but it's cool none the less smile
