Dear Editor:
Re: Feb. 27 editorial
In mentioning that "the days of
using our precious waterfronts for
industrial uses are numbered", you
fail to note that some of the
world’s greatest cities have working
industrial ports as part of their
mixed use waterfronts.
In North
America, the list is exhaustive,
New York, Seattle, Vancouver,
Montreal, Miami, San Diego, etc.
Working mixed use ports stimulate
the economy and draw people
and businesses.
Oshawa's port
has successful businesses and is
drawing more, like the $185 million
green ethanol facility.
But just imagine if Oshawa
could be like Barcelona, Dublin,
Amsterdam or Buenos Aires.
I rest my case.
