dewlineWe could do without this.
26 hectares of the South March Highlands in the west end of modern Ottawa is about to be clear-cut for home-builders, road-builders and so forth to do their thing. As was done to build most of the modern city from 1826 onwards. It's an old habit, and you'd think we've built outward instead of upwards enough for over 150 years.
But, apparently the addiction must still...still...be fed. Despite our efforts and desire to pull ourselves away from that table as a city.
Enough.
