With things like this, it’s hard not to think of the famous Boaty McBoatface, which was a proposal by a British government agency to let the internet suggest a name for a $287 million polar research ship.
The contest quickly became the latest in the internet’s storied history of social media users choosing ridiculous names for government-funded projects.
Sweep dreams are made of these, so dust off your best puns and cast your vote for Saanich’s sweeper name now.
