Out of Control
I'm reminded of the old joke where a police office pulls over a car going 100 miles an hour. The policeman asks the driver where he is going in such a hurry. The driver replies that he has no idea where he is going but that he is making terrific time.
Such is the case of the Brantford City Council and the south side of Colborne St. There is no plan in place for what will take the place of the existing buildings but the demolition of those buildings is speeding ahead with even the Expositor suggesting that our local MP should pressure the Federal Government to skip any environmental assessment of this project. I'm sure that this same paper would ridicule the current MP and his government and demand their heads , if some unforeseen environmental disaster occurs because of this lack of due diligence.
Yes, this scene is like a bus (and a short one at that), with Mark Littell in the driver's seat and the rest of the council on board, careening down the road at high speed, even though the final destination is far from clear.

I agree - the bulldozer is so unforgiving and final - and we have many examples of such unforgiving and final solutions in the downtown area - I have emailed my councillor, Jennifer Kinneman and she like the others thinks they are doing what is best - the secret is not agreeing but keeping our respect for people who differ and do everything in our power to make them see a different solution to our eyesores. I will be there on Monday evening at city hall.
Ha..ha..ha this group would be on the short bus for sure. You forgot to add that Carpenter would be sticking his bare behind out the window mooning all the citizens of Brantford.
