Misdirected Focus
The City has bought and removed the adult entertainment designation from the former downtown strip club. And all the massage parlors have been run out of business. And the police have arrested a number of men in a recent prostitution sting. So I guess all the undesirable elements have now been removed from the downtown. Well all except for whoever fired off about six shot at a truck and wounded a passenger a week ago. And whoever beat up another man on Market Street early this past Monday morning. So don't we all feel safer downtown now? Good job! Right!

The truth, of course, is tha the synthetic "rebirth" of the downtown is starting to wear thin. Real investment and Entrepreneurial vision has been driven out by a patchwork of government programs and endless city planning "initiatives". The moral rot that goes with it cannot be concealed forever.
And there were three more incidents of shots being fired last night, this time all in Eagle Place. But The Expositor and the City Council keeps crying "all is well" and "Brantford is safe".I don't believe it.
