Canadian landmarks that never should have been privatized.

Prison for Women -40 Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard, Kingston, Ontario.
The Portsmouth Olympic Harbour - Kingston, Ontario.
Almost 200 acres of the Central Experimental Farm - 960 Carling Avenue, Ottawa. See the YouTube video "Ottawa prepares to hand over Historic Federal Farmland to Corporate Developers."

1,000 Department of Fisheries and Oceans Lighthouses including Peggy's Cove.
All of the Canadian Pacific Railway hotels.
All of the Canadian National Railway hotels.
Grain elevators in Western Canada and Northern Ontario.
The Quebec Bridge that spans the St. Lawrence River - called "the eighth wonder of the world."

Endangered landmarks.
The decommissioned Kingston Penitentiary.
Collins Bay Institution.
Martello Towers.
The Rideau Canal locks and lock stations. Parks Canada cannot afford to maintain $8 billion dollars worth of infrastructure in Canada's National Parks.
The Dominion Observatory Campus on the Experimental Farm in Ottawa-a health care facility is building a mega-hospital and auxiliary buildings on 50 acres of the National Historic Site of Canada. The Observatory, Photo Equatorial Building, South Azimuth and many other structures will either be moved or demolished, because Maple Lane has to be widened and the health care facility does not want "irregularly- shaped" parcels of land.

More than 500 mature trees on the Experimental Farm, read the letter that former Ottawa mayors Jacquelin Holzman and Jim Durrell sent to the National Capital Commission.
