Two Bird Faces? Watson Goes Green for Re-election?

UNBELIEVABLE - Ottawa mayor Jim Watson declares May 12th Migratory Birds and Important Bird Areas Day. He's acknowledged that the Lac Deschênes area is important to wlldlife. Kudos for that and we couldn't agree more. BUT - why let developers pillage other land already declared ecologically significant or protected? Why let staff exempt strict environmental studies in the South March Highlands? Why are strict EAs required in Orleans but not Kanata?
