Uprising Press Release

"We mean to stop this with Tullis Cottage," said Mary
Delaney, referring to a 165-year-old house whose
residents face eviction. "(Ottawa) won't know what hit
them because we will not let that house go down."
"It's cruel what's happened out here to our
community," Delaney said. "Sometimes you don't know
whether to cry or laugh or throw up."
|
“We saw the spirit of Brougham hanging, swinging. We
thought she was dead, but she rose again,” says
Michael Robertson of Land Over Landings. “The airport,
we feel is swinging here dead, soon to be buried...
Over half our lives we’ve been under the threat of
this airport, it’s time she went to bed.”
|
“The whole purpose is to draw attention to what we’ve
been talking about with the evictions and demolitions.
We’re of the opinion that we don’t think the airport
is going to happen,” says Land Over Landings chair
Gord McGregor. “We don’t really have a fight with
anyone, we’re just trying to convince the government
they made a mistake a long time ago.”
