Kevin, thank you for bringing this discussion to the forum. I find it very enlightening to hear a local perspective, especially at a time when there's a lot of soul searching to be done (which shouldn't have taken this long), and when many people consider this to be a USA-specific issue, which it isn't. For all the time we spend here discussing city building, I think this is an important step for us to move towards discussions on community building as well. There's an opportunity for Ottawa to do much more and be so much better and there's no reason that can't start right here.
