There is a golden boy who rests at the top of the provincial legislative building in downtown Winnipeg. Since the Golden Boy was installed at the Legislative Building in 1919, he minds neither cold nor heat. In fact, the sculpture is modelled after Mercury, the Roman god that represents communication, commerce and connection. In comes the Golden Boy, who at about 17 feet tall, goes fleet of foot through my neighbourhood, sending his regards, and collecting goods for his golden family. Maskless and metal during the pandemic, he is excited to see what is dawning in the contactless coterie of enterprising shopkeepers. The final animated GIF is about 18 seconds long.
