Another example of lost Canadian history. Maybe if these students actually knew Canadian history, they wouldn’t be so eager to discard it. There’s something wrong with Canadian youth.
As a former teacher, I agree. Unruly classrooms make it difficult for anyone to learn. Unfortunately, this is going to be the weakest generation of Canadians ever produced. And yes, the public education system is to blame because it is not a balanced environment for children to learn.
What about a street car line if a subway is deemed too expensive?
Here we go again, the Ottawa Citizen editor advocating on behalf of developers—many of whom the Charbonneau Commission labelled “organized crime”. The paper’s interference in the 2010 Ottawa municipal election was bad enough. The Ottawa Citizen needs to stay out of politics and do its job. Report on the news.
Here’s an idea for City Councillors > How about don’t use infill to continue to destroy the urban forest and family communities to achieve a solution to which there are many alternatives.
Removing zoning protection on family communities is just lazy planning. We have an opportunity to clean contaminated land and build new communities for people in need. Convert a couple business parks into appartments, etc.
Forcing transients (renters) into existing communities will only create great animosity towards them. It’s a mistake to force them into mature family communities. It tears at the fabric of the community and destroys it over time.
Lazy planning. Terrible long term results for our best and safest communities. Stick to intensifying transit corridors and cleaning contaminated land. And please—Stay out of our neighbourhoods.
