This from someone who has complained about student behaviour in Westdale?

Don't get me wrong. The argument that you shouldn't live near a university if you don't like hosing vomit and human excrement off your porch every morning, is completely asinine. But I would think that as a resident of Westdale, you would have some sympathy for people who have to live with the damaging results of decisions made by local governments, institutions, and industries, regardless of which came first.

The unfortunate souls who live on or near Cannon and Main are no more responsible for the fact that we have allowed inner city neighbourhoods to be rent by urban highways and through truck routes, than the residents of Westdale are for the anti-social behaviour of many Mac students. Neither one should be tolerated, and blaming the victims is just a lazy way of defending the indefensible.
