The Rideau Canal will lose designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If the government of Canada does not care about our history, why should the United Nations.UNESCO received a State of Conservation Report in May of 2018 regarding the following projects:
1.)  Various Federal Infrastructure Investment Program projects along the length of the Rideau Canal World Heritage property.
2.)  Rideau Canal Crossing pedestrian bridge. (Ottawa.)
3.)  Chateau Laurier proposed expansion. (Ottawa.)
4.)  Highway 417 bridge rehabilitation. (Ottawa.)
5.)  Third Bridge Crossing (Kingston.) (Note: It proceeded.)
6.)  Rideau Marina (Kingston).
7.)  Former Davis Tannery Brownfield Site Redevelopment (Kingston.)
8.)  New Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus (Ottawa.)
Parks Canada cannot protect the Rideau Canal. Google: "May 2018, State of Conservation Report, Rideau Canal" go to "November 14, 2019".

 The National Capital Commission and Public Works have the power to remove heritage designations: National Historic Site of Canada; National Interest Land Mass; Classified Federal Heritage Building and Recognized Federal Heritage Building. 
 Parks Canada stated that they want to privatize billions of dollars worth of infrastructure in the National Parks. 

 Steamboat cruises were a popular tourist attraction on the waterway and I would not be surprised if the Disney Corporation buys it.  

  Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site but the Alberta government is closing it. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas can create their own Jurassic Park. The government of Canada should create the Dinosaur National Park.

 The TV Ontario documentary "Tripping the Rideau Canal" is on YouTube. I never fully appreciated the beauty of the waterway before and I cried a few times. Because I believe it will be sold off. Our grandchildren have the right to inherit this property. Where are the gatekeepers?

 Many federal politicians want to preserve the Rideau Canal for all Canadians:
House of Commons  Ottawa  February 19, 2007.
Mr. Gord Brown (Leeds-Grenville, Ontario) CPC.
     "Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate that I am speaking about the Rideau Canal on Heritage Day...It encompasses many communities, all with unique heritage: Seeley's Bay, Newboro, Westport, Portland, Perth, Rideau Ferry, Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Kempville and Manotick..It is a heritage river, a national historic site and, hopefully, will soon be a world heriage site."

House of Commons  Ottawa  June 1, 1994.

Mr. Jim Jordan (Leeds-Grenville, Ontario).

     "..the Canal offers 202 kilometres of clear, pristine waters through a total of 47 locks."
