There’s a culture in our city. It’s replicated across the province, country and
continent. It appears with every new subdivision and every new road. Each new
development stretching out further away from the city centre poses an added
threat to our rural communities. The tensions bred in these communities
contribute to the urban-rural class war, and this class war becomes more acute
with each municipal election. This class war is insidious. It snakes through our
politics. And it is absolutely ridiculous. via
