"As such, the Credit Union takes its commitment to and support of the Estonian community very seriously."

From the book “100 Ways America is Screwing Up the World”- A good summary of the concept of trust is provided by Eric Uslander, a political theorist at the University of Maryland.
“ Communities with strong positive values (including trust in others) and ties that bind people to one another will have more powerful norms of generalized reciprocity and cooperation. Trust as a moral resource leads us to look beyond our own kind. It means that we downplay bad experiences and cooperate even when we are not sure that others will oblige. Trust makes for a vibrant community in several ways. Trust promotes cooperation. It leads people to take active roles in their community, to behave morally, and to compromise. People who trust others aren’t quite ready to dismiss ideas they disagree with. When they can’t get what they want, they are willing to listen to the other side. Communities with civic activism and moral behavior, where people give others their due, are more prosperous.”

quoting a socialist / "progressive" political commentator who reviles America for it's capitalism does not incur me to trust this past posting.
Are you serious? Therefore statements have no validity because a person uttering these does not don the same stripes you do? This kind of exclusionary thinking is what has gotten us into this mess.
to "to n/a" - I posted my opinion, not yours but MINE! To call me out on MY opinion is exactly going against what you claim to against ... exclusionary. but then again this is my opinion.

Fair enough. But I think the point in the post was valid, regardless of who has been quoted. Did not mean to offend, just make a statement.

... and you respect your elders while they are alive.
You don't make their life difficult by building a house in a traffic congested area on a one-way street with no dedicated parking and in a city with growing TTC congestion issues (the earliest a relief line will be built is 2031).

How can you cite ttc congestion issues but not road congestion issues? For many, the drive to EH is also a traffic nightmare. And as soon as theres a big event, the EH parking lot is also full.
Seems to me the parking and ttc arguments are pretty much 6 of one half dozen of another. You can use them to defend or attack, either Madison or EH, depending on where you stand.
Same with the "unknown renovation cost" of 11 madison. What about the unknown renovation costs of 958 broadview? How would the mechanical upgrade certainly cost no more thatn the 1.4mill but the reno/construction on madison certainly go over budget? Again, you can question both numbers depending on what side you are on.
Finally, its also the same with the accusations of dividing the community. Whether you think its the 4 orgs dividing the community by pushing for Madison or the naysayers dividing the community by refusing to see the true state of EH and move on depends entorely on where you stand.
Look in the mirror people! You are fighting against yourselves. Its the fighting thats dividing people. Find a way to respect each other! This has nothing to do with disrespecting elders. Everyone acknowledges the achievements of our parents and grandparents! But we cant be tied down by them - they wouldnt want that either. We need to stand on their shoulders, take a good look around and find the courage to fly on our own!
