CN Attacks Kingston's Heritage, Canada's Heritage; Where is the Federal Government?
We don't have a branch in Kingston; they have their own very active
Frontenac Heritage Foundation. They are fighting to save a so-called "protected" railway station from demolition by neglect, notwithstanding that there is a "Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act" that the federal government and CN are ignoring.

It's election time, and we should be out there making an issue of it. Read more about Kingston here.
