The destruction of my country's history.

The limestone Prison for Women, Kingston Ontario. The entire building will be gutted to facilitate the construction of condominiums. And a high rise residential tower will be built on the grounds of the landmark. (I bought this card at the nearby Penitentiary Museum.)

Building 55 in Downsview Toronto.

The recently sold Dominion Public Building on Front Street,  Toronto, Ontario. The towers have not been constructed yet.

The future of Kingston Penitentiary.

See the YouTube video "CN implosion London Ontario".

A former Canadian National Railway station in Kingston Ontario. CN Rail ignored multiple pleas to save the limestone building.

 CN Rail refused to refurbish a bridge that spans the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. The bridge was sold by the Canadian government before the CNR was privatized. 

The City Of Kingston and federal properties.

  Lawyers persuaded the federal government to change heritage laws, most notably the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act and the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act. Canada's 1,000 federal lighthouses have been sold by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Who would divest the Peggy's Cove and the Bonavista Lighthouse? The Bonavista Lighthouse is mentioned in the song and YouTube video "This Land is Your Land Canada" by The Travellers.
 Once a federal building is sold it loses all protection.

The City of Kingston is now in a "danja zone"---Kingston may lose landmarks that make the community a tourist mecca:
The Prison for Women
Kingston Penitentiary
Portsmouth Olympic Harbour
The Collins Bay Institution - known as Disneyland North.
The Martello Towers
The Penitentiary Museum, located across the street from the Pen.
The former home of Sir John A. Macdonald, Bellevue House?
The Isabel McNeill Halfway House.
Kingston Mills - Parks Canada is planning to sell bridges, dams, locks, etc.
The Rockwood Hospital - The Ontario Realty Corporation is selling the building, which was built by Kingston Penitentiary inmates to house individuals who could not cope with incarceration in the Pen.
Kingston Armoury on Montreal Street. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The City of Kingston is changing its official motto "Where history and innovation thrive" because local politicians can see the writing on the wall, the word "history" will have to be removed from the motto. And the Martello Tower image will have to be removed from their Official Flag.

Collins Bay Institution. Half a dozen prison farms were shut down so that the land could be privatized..See the 2009 document "Frontenac Institution Lands-Queen's University." and "A Roadmap to Strengthening Public Safety" by Rob Sampson.

, The Trudeau government is now selling the Campanile Complex at 1495 Heron Road, Ottawa.
A previous Trudeau government bought the Campanile Complex in 1973, when it was called the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame.
Years ago, many people in Alta Vista were bitterly opposed to a project on Smyth Road. And they lost the battle:
September 16, 1999 - Public Comments about 363 Smyth Road Ottawa:
"Smyth Road is already too busy".
"Width of the single family lots are too narrow, not in character with the community".
"Will the water table be reduced? Impact on pond south of Smyth Road".
"Do not want a sound wall along Smyth Road as it would not be in keeping with the character of the community. The new units should front Smyth Road and "suffer" like the existing units."
"Development of the site means a loss of a large parcel of open space owned by the Crown."
"Development will put a strain on school space."
"This is Crown land-our land- and there should be no rush to develop it."
(From: [PDF] That Council give draft approval to the proposed subdivision at 363...")
"It is apparent that the consensus from the residents in the surrounding community was overwhelmingly negative...This totally unnecessary and unwanted project has now been approved over our heads by the City." A Stompin' Tom Connors video on YouTube called "Movin' In (from Montreal by Train)" brings back fond memories of the CNR.

I am in front of the Parthenon in Athens Greece, 1979. The foundation of the Parthenon is limestone. The Kingston Pen, Prison for Women, Rockwood hospital, Penitentiary Water Tower, Church of the Good Thief, Stone Gables, Penitentiary Museum, Isabel McNeill Halfway House, Fort Henry, the Martello Towers, Kingston Armoury, Collins Bay Institution  and the Old Post Office were all created with limestone. That is why Kingston Ontario is called The Limestone City. Buildings constructed with limestone can last for thousands of years---as I have said before, the Great Pyramid of Giza is 4,000 years old.

The Government of Canada is selling a pavilion in the Old Port of Quebec.

     The Espace 400e Pavilion was created to commemorate the founding of Quebec City by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Vieux-Port de Quebec was a Canada Lands Company subsidiary.

 The mandate of Canada Lands Company is to privatize all federal land, buildings and infrastructure in Canada. All federal Crown corporations, agencies and departments have to justify to the Canada Lands Company why they need their buildings and land. Twelve military bases are gone, most of the holdings of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation were transferred to the CLC; the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has been delisted from the Federal Directory of Real Property; the Greenbelt that surrounds Ottawa is being monetized; and all of the older penitentiaries in Canada will be sold off and demolished, read the document "A Roadmap to Strengthening Public Safety" by Rob Sampson.

When the Canadian National Railway was privatized in 1995, CN Rail promised that the headquarters would always be located in Montreal. The headquarters were sold during the year 2007. (The classified ad is from a Globe and Mail newspaper.)

CN Towers located in Edmonton, Alberta; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and London, Ontario that were sold off:

London, Ontario CN Tower.

One dollar federal real estate deals.

     The Government of Canada gave away federal property to a multi-billion dollar global corporation, Crown corporations and cultural organizations. A few examples of their generosity:
1.) The Quebec Bridge is a road, rail and pedestrian bridge that spans the St. Lawrence River. In the year 1993 the government of Canada gave the bridge to the Canadian National Railway, a Crown corporation. Now CN Rail and Bill Gates refuse to refurbish the bridge, see the hashtag #PaintYourBridgeBill.
 "CN's responsibility for the Quebec Bridge does not encompass enhancing the heritage or aesthetic aspect of the bridge." 

2.) Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation - In 1967 the 614 hectare Blair Rifle Range in North Vancouver, British Columbia was sold for a dollar to the CMHC. The following properties were built by the taxpayers of Canada and then privatized by CMHC for millions of dollars:
Kingstonian Apartments, Kingston Ontario.
Habitat 67, designed by Moshe Safdie for Expo 67 in Montreal.
The  Athletes Villages constructed for Olympic games in Montreal and Vancouver.
Rochdale College in Toronto and Ottawa's Rochdale College, Pestalozzi College.
Toronto's Regent Park.

3.) The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Headquarters on Jarvis Street were sold to a real estate company and the Ballet School of Canada via a Privy Council Order-in-Council:
Land Transfers-
Order-in-Council - Grant approval for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (a) to sell some 4,898 square metres of land at 263 and 303 Mutual Street in Toronto, Ontario to Context Real Estate Inc. and (b) to convey another 4,970 square metres of land at 354 and 372 Jarvis Street in Toronto to the National Ballet School, for a nominal sum.
In September of 1979 I appeared on the television program Take 30, featuring moderator Harry Brown, Dr. Peter Breggin (an American psychiatrist who wrote books about the dangers of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor drugs like Prozac); Toronto Star columnist Sidney Katz; Don Weitz, an activist and publisher of the magazine "Phoenix Rising"; lawyer Carla McKague, Scientologists and nurses.
I vividly remember walking through the halls of the Jarvis Street Complex---Glenn Gould recorded albums in the building, and the walls were lined with framed photographs of CBC luminaries like Barbara Frum, Pierre Berton, Fred Davis and Betty Kennedy. The building should have been converted into a museum. All of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's land, buildings and communications infrastructure are gone. According to a document prepared by Minister of Public Works Erik Nielsen, the CBC owned 485 buildings and 1, 870 hectares of land in 1985.
