Canada Post locations in Toronto, Ontario, 1992.
170 Spadina Avenue- demolished.
1075 Queen Street East - a luxury condominium.
1117 Queen Street West - 



Postal Station B, 59 Sparks Street, Ottawa. A tall fence with a blackout screen encircles the building--- I believe the lion statues are being removed and auctioned off though a federal law called "The Surplus Crown Assets Act." Wondering where the lions are.


2 The Parkway, Kanata.

A few of the Canada Post holdings in Montreal, 1992:

Canada Customs.

Customs House-Government of Canada Building, 816 Government Street, Victoria Street, British Columbia. Land Area: 0.2558 ha. 1 Building.

816 Government Street, Victoria, British Columbia. I have a visceral reaction to the above picture. Shame on you, you "Guardians of Canada's heritage". Pay homage to your puppetmasters and the almighty dollar. Don't even think about demolishing 24 buildings on the Farm and Dominion Observatory. Or Wellington Street and the Sparks Street Mall. Or the CBC Headquarters on 1500 Bronson in Ottawa. Or the Kingston Penitentiary, Prison for Women and Rockwood Asylum. And 1,000 lighthouses that were abandoned by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.A true Canadian, someone who loves this country, would never permit this desecration of my history.
