Celebrating Gatineau's 20th Anniversary?

 

    Not sure if everyone  saw this announcement on the City of Gatineau website:
 HYPERLINK "https://www.gatineau.ca/portail/default.aspx?p=20e_anniversaire_ville_gatineau&ref=bandeaux" n _blankhttps://www.gatineau.ca/portail/default.aspx?p=20e_anniversaire_ville_gatineau&ref=bandeaux 
    I think it is very insulting to the taxpayers of Aylmer and reinforces my belief that we got the short end of the stick. No mention of any accomplishments over the last 20 years in Aylmer except for uploading us with multi unit housing, no infrastructure to handle it and taking all the tax revenue and spending it elsewhere in the city . Oh, it was pointed out we got Boulevard des Allumettieres which just sucked further businesses out of Aylmer. and was mostly funded by the province.
    And all our streets are still in horrible shape. I have yet to see any paving and resurfacing going on in our area. Yes, they started to fix storm drain grates on the Aylmer Road and then patch. It needs resurfacing all the way to the marina. We need to starting screaming more because if not the "more things change the more they stay the same!"
    Come on, Aylmer, lets demand what we deserve!  We elect the politicians.
