Baby boomers, be warned. Ottawa civic politics is no place for the “wise and experienced” with lots of grey matter.McKenney unveils pitch to turn greenbelt into a national urban parkThe proposal by Ottawa mayoral candidate Catherine McKenney to protect the greenbelt by turning it into a park does not mention that Ottawa’s new Official Plan has other ideas for that space.

McKenney was his assistant when he wrote and introduced his legislative reform on capital, and I’ll bet McKenney knows more about the file than any of the other candidates.
