What is the opposite of a headline? I’m not sure there’s a word for it, and so
let’s call it a footline. This column, the last of mine for 2014, is concerned
with the footlines of Ottawa in the year about to end. Relative to the big news,
to gunfights on the Hill, the commencement of the Confederation Line, the most
unexciting mayor race I can remember, the footlines are in smaller print, but
they too are part of the city’s story, of its growing up. The trinity of civic
questions worth posing at the end of any year, to my mind, are; is the city
greener than it was 12 months ago; is it more beautiful; and are the least
fortunate of us better off? via
