If city staff get their way, construction and development in Ottawa is going to
be governed by a new set of rules that sound like they came from a Disney movie.
It would seem self-evident that turning a natural area into a subdivision or
shopping mall would destroy the habitat on the site and drive out whatever
creatures live there. Nevertheless, city staff are proposing a new wildlife
protection plan that will make development slower and more costly in an attempt
at a fairy tale happy ending where all the displaced creatures find a good homes
in the country. via
