Now Glebe residents are objecting to a couple of buses being re-routed while construction is underway on Bank Street. I am so sick of "Glebites". They object to everything. Like the re-development of Landsdowne. They have objected to EVERY SINGLE PROPOSAL for the past 20 years! Nothing is good enough in that neighbourhood. And excuse me, they can never be inconvenienced. Talk about NIMBY.
When I was a kid, except for Clemow and Monkland, the Glebe was a dump. Sort of like the Burgh -- now called "New Edinburgh". Please. Both neighbourhoods are still lipstick-on-a-pig enclaves. I remember when the Burgh was pretty much a slum, with cheek-by-jowel houses smacked up against grubby gas stations and seedy corner stores. Ugly. Same with the Glebe -- very working class and down-at-the-heels.
And another thing. What is "anti poverty" anyway? Does anyone really think we can eliminate poverty? Please again.
