jmr Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 http://www.ottawacitizen.com/approves+monu...1324/story.html I was unsettled by this name, and other members of the committee agreed with me,” said Hélène Grand-Maître, speaking in French. “We should make sure that we are politically correct in this designation.” Board member Adel Ayad said the name was troubling for its “very tight definition” and for the presence of the word “communism” in the title, as Canada has a communist party.

I was beginning to fear that I was the only O'ist in the City! I'd say more aspiring O'ist at the moment. I still have quite a way to go before I feel I can deserve to use the term. If you're looking for objectivists in Ottawa I suggest you read David McGruer's monthly column in the Orleans Star. He was the Ottawa-Orleans candidate for the Ontario Freedom party (Paul's party) in the last provincial election. http://eastottawa.ca/rubrique-1009-On-Second-Thought.html Back on topic: I'd like to know where they wanted to put it if the NCC is involved. A monument like that would probably be better placed on private land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally of course it should be private money and private property and then those that would complain about it not being politically correct could be rightfully told to go pound sand by the owner of the land and the contributors to the project. I never heard about where this was supposed to go. I would imagine it would be in one of the Parks downtown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatlander Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 http://www.ottawacitizen.com/approves+monu...1324/story.html To borrow a term from the enemy, it seems there are some "useful idiots" on the NCC. Their milquetoast caterwauling is truly unseemly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
