<I recently acquired a maple leaf pin of patinated copper
from the Canadian
                Parliament roof>

                I wonder if they are using sales of salvaged materials to
offset the cost of a $1 billion structural stabilization, exterior
restoration and interior rehab of the Parliament buildings. The length of
this project and its cost are starting to raise a few eyebrows, and there
has been some question as to why they couldn't have razed the lot and
started from scratch. Gee, if you have to ask...

                So, how many pins at $6.99 would it take to make this a
break even project?
