I wonder. If Orangeville's history is going to be destroyed because one 125 year old beautiful home is going to be demolished, wonder what the travesty in Melancthon that has occured-16 century homesteads demolished by Highland Companies so far and 21 burn permits issued in total-would be classified as?

"Mr. Grant expressed his bitterness in a letter released to the media Tuesday. “I made a proposal last night to council and I might as well have talked to a wall. Not a single councillor supported saving the house.” (Source: Orangeville Citizen, June 3, 2010)

Hey bro, I hear yah. Talking to Melancthon Council is like talking to the Great Wall of China.
