Imagining a wintry Guelph where the city's heart beats beyond the car Some ideas don’t fit neatly into op-eds or news columns. This piece is one of those, but we think it's a great way to humanize common issues many of us face - especially in the winter.

Chatting to some1 about her recent NB-PQ train trip. Its a given that Via Rail passenger trains will be late. I didnt think it was SOP to
1) be delayed cause there were WET LEAVES on the track
2) reverse the train a bit & then speed up to get enough speed to get up a hill #urbanism #CanadianUrbanism

Cities stand at a crossroads. Will we rise to the challenge—or be overtaken by change?
