Federal properties that Canadians may lose.

The Rideau Canal from Ottawa to Kingston. "Parks Canada to look at divesting highways, bridges and dams. Cash-strapped agency examines whether to sell or divest non-heritage assets worth $8.3 B." by Dean Beeby, CBC News, August 26, 2017. Parks Canada does not believe that the waterway has any cultural or heritage value.

The Lebreton Flats - House of Commons Ottawa November 23, 1967 The Hon. George McIlraith (Minister of Public Works): "The Lebreton Flats were envisioned as a western extension of the Parliamentary Precinct. Buildings on or near the Parliamentary Precinct cannot be any taller than the Peace Tower."

Dominion Observatory - "The popularity of the Observatory occurred when it opened in 1905, due to the support of Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Laurier's advocation reinforced the idea that the Observatory was to be considered an arm of the parliamentary precinct." (From: "Journal of the Study of Architecture in Canada" and "Mary Grey and the Architecture of Canada's Dominion Observatory"---Sharon Odell, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.)

Commissioners Park, the Arboretum, Macoun Memorial Garden, vacant land where the Observatory stood, William Saunders Building, Ornamental Gardens, greenhouses, the Booth Barn; research fields...The Ottawa Hospital has indicated that by year 2028 they will need more land. 

Early 1980's.

The Greenbelt - "A million people could live here."- Bill Teron. The City of Ottawa wants 13, 700 acres.

The Confederation Park National Historic Site located at Elgin Street and Laurier Avenue in Ottawa. For a hockey arena ?

Parliament Hill - 

Parliament Hill

The Sparks Street Mall. The Trudeau government bought properties on Wellington Street and the Mall in order to save the heritage buildings, expand the Parliamentary Precinct and prevent the construction of residential towers in the area:

 House of Commons Ottawa July 20, 1973 The Hon. Jean-Eudes Dube (Minister of Public Works) Liberal: "...I wish to announce, Mr. Speaker, that I have today, on behalf of the government, filed a notice of intent to expropriate all the land and buildings in the area bounded by Wellington Street, Elgin Street, Sparks Street and Bank Street.

 The purpose of this expropriation is, as I have indicated, to protect the environment of Parliament from any development which could adversely affect it and simultaneously to provide the land for an appropriate expansion of parliamentary facilities and other government requirements. The property of the United States Embassy has been excluded from this expropriation but discussions are well advanced for its acquisition..."

More highways, bridges, buildings, land and furniture will be given away or sold. The terms National Historic Site of Canada, Classified Federal Heritage Building, Recognized Federal Heritage Building and National Interest Land Mass mean nothing. The City of Ottawa owns the Mackenzie King Bridge, Laurier Avenue Bridge, Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill, the Prince of Wales Parkway, the Ottawa Teachers College on 195 Elgin Street and (soon) Heron Road and Riverside Drive within Confederation Heights..

Foreign architects are redeveloping government properties across from Parliament Hill. In their planning documents I could not see one Canadian Maple Leaf Flag or the statue of Terry Fox.
