Regional and Intercity Bus\Rail Transportation

Running an hourly bus service between Carleton Place and Kanata Centrum and a couple of commuter runs to downtown is not going to destroy Ottawa.

It is also not going to be the determining factor on choosing to live in Carleton Place.

If we see wholesale fleeing from Ottawa to these periphery towns, the City of Ottawa needs to do some serious sole searching. Why is urban or even suburban life worse than living 40 or 50 km from the city? It suggests that the living environment is not satisfying enough people.

We should stop looking down our noses at people living in rural Eastern Ontario, nor should we be doing so for people choosing to live on more than a miniscule city lot. As I have said repeatedly, we live in a free society.
