Other comments and notes..
Oh Canada Post
Looks like we are facing another mail strike....it's a sick joke really, no I'm not anti labour, but these stupid and useless interruptions of the already tattered and tarnished Canada Mail joke has to end some day.
Canada Parks
Wonderful news about a new National Park in the works...Rouge Park. Toronto Ontario has three substantial valleys and rivers. The Humber, The Don and The Rouge.
A few years ago a friend,Lawyer and Environmental engineer produced a study on the Humber..river,valley etc.
I have it stashed somewhere, the Humber valley is in the west end of Canada's largest city,Toronto.
The Don river and valley runs north /south to the lake Ontario and much of it will need a great deal of help...soon. A rapid transit highway called the Don Valley Parkway ( or DV Parking lot) takes up much of it and a lot of old services, water,sewer and related big city links are grossly outdated and in infrastructure repair need.
And to the eastern limit of the city,formerly Scarborough, there is the Rouge...river and valley.
