The John Hooper statues called
People Waiting stood in front of a Canada Post building, 115 Prince William Street, Saint John, New Brunswick. The Dominion Building was converted into high-end condominiums. An inquiry by the Auditor General of Canada confirmed that Canada Post owned 2,200 buildings worth $1.4 billion dollars, see the
"1984 Report of the Auditor General of Canada-Chapter 13-13.6." There is a reason why Canada Post is renting space in Shoppers Drug Mart stores and gas stations.

During the early 1980's I walked by the John Hooper's Balancing every night on my way to work at the Conference Centre, I was a cleaning lady. The statues were located on the grounds of the National Arts Centre, Ottawa, not that close, and I thought they were real people until one night it dawned on me that they never moved.
