	Ottawa Business Journal - Home Page
		Ottawa's old train station, now used chiefly as a meeting place for small groups of public servants, has been a white elephant ever since the mainline rail terminal was moved out of downtown Ottawa to the suburbs about 40 years ago.
		Jacquelin Holzman, former Ottawa mayor and former head of the Congress Centre, does not blame the private sector for its unwillingness to contribute to Congress Centre expansion.
		True, but by building the walkways and reclaiming the old station for a more useful and public purpose, it will improve the quality of life downtown, create a more attractive environment for shoppers and tourists, and help business generally, especially if Ottawa succeeds in drawing more conventions.

	Newfoundland History in the 1860s
		The Confederation issue of this period was played out against a background of several years in the early 1860s of economic depression, a depression which led many Newfoundlanders to regard the issue as a viable option to their economic woes.
		While Carter and Shea were well-known confederates, the basis for the coalition, as noted earlier, was to implement the principle of elite accommodation, or denominational compromise, that all public figures acknowledged would be necessary for sectarian harmony as a result of the political events of 1861.
		He asserted that Confederation was of no financial benefit to Newfoundlanders, would transfer ownership of the colony's natural resources to Ottawa, and lead to higher taxes.
