NCC Watch – Genies and truck routes

The NCC Watch is a blog dedicated to monitoring the activities of the NCC.  I urge you to have a look at their compilation and criticism of questionable NCC decisions and actions over the years:

    I have been following the issue fairly closely. Of all the positions I have come across, the only one I do not understand, in terms of rationale and motive, are those of the Ottawa Citizen editorials. Why are they so fundamentally pro-Kettle, when it might have been better journalism and in the broader interest of the NCR to simply stay neutral on this issue and report the facts and publish letters?

    Bravo on your web site.

    Some of the editorial biases of certain media outlets and columnists in the city are definitely questionable. As to why they are so pro-Kettle, I wish we had a better answer. From what I can tell, there is a distinct reluctance to acknowledge the validity of arguments against Kettle Island, many of which speak to the greater good of the national capital region. Refusing to acknowledge these seems to me like a simple case of irresponsible and unprofessional journalism.

    This blog was started by Ottawa residents concerned about the selection methodology for a new bridge and inter-provincial truck highway. Our research has led us to believe that Kettle Island is a bad choice for our region, yet we represent no particular group or neighbourhood. Anyone is invited and encouraged to participate in our blog.
