https://neuenergy.blogspot.com/2018/06/gta-relief-valve-new-cities-on-ontarios.html   This post relates to a  growth and transportation proposal  for Ontario's northern 519 area  and  the GTA. It has ties to the 400/401/402 freeways and to Huron, Bruce, Grey, Middlesex and Simcoe counties.

They are the sum of beliefs of people drawn to them; of their character and efforts.  They must be adaptable to changing conditions, while preserving overall cohesion and unity of purpose.      Success has more to do with clarity of shared purpose and common principles than to assets or management competence.     The  governing structure distributes power and function to lowest level possible.  Visa member banks send representatives to a system of national, regional, and international boards, where each board raises common issues, debate them, and...
