Prettier

Yes!  Windmills have no place here because they are so ugly!

Prettier

And they mess up the view as well!

Greenspace

These are photos of an open greenspace and ball-park complex in the middle of a residential neighbourhood here in North Bay.  They are being traded for a giant sports complex which is being built on the edge of the swampland at the south end of town, some 8 or 9 kilometers away in the middle of nowhere.  Originally 22 houses were to be built on the fields but the hew and cry from the people who live next to these spaces and see them as an important part of their environment got Council to “compromise” by reducing the number of houses to 5.  As someone commented at a public meeting:  “You’ve threatened to break both of my legs and now you’re going to “compromise” and break only one of them!”

The money from the sale of the land will be used to defray the cost of building the sports complex in the middle of nowhere.

Council seems to know the price of everything and the value of nothing!

Not “Arret”?

Visited France recently.  Deep in the heart of the country the stop signs say

unlike the Province of Quebec where the word is “Arret”.

I’m sure the French are pleased to know that the Quebecois are guarding the language for them.
