The FUTURE as seen from the past
What is the National Capital Commission?
Well you might ask after glancing at the previous page. A paving and concrete concern, perhaps?
Oddly enough, they mention how they are empowered to buy and develop land, but fail to mention they're also empowered to expropriate. And expropriate they did, to acquire all those open green spaces they're so proud of, to say nothing of demolishing the LeBreton Flats.
Open Green Spaces
How appropriate that the NCC should choose a photo of one of the many roads they built in the 60s as an example of those open green spaces they are so proud of - the NCC spent tens of millions of 1960 dollars building roads in the capital.
