Windsor’s airport has been slowly growing. It does not in any manner warrant a slash of service or safety. So NavCan needs to consider the economic and safety of residents on both sides of this busy international border.
Moreover, Windsor’s airport has a demonstrated record of service — and until the pandemic had a growing economic consequence for the region. The federal Minister of Transport can and should order NavCan to provide full air traffic control service.

On another matter, I agree entirely with neighbourhood resident Mike Cardinal that locating Windsor’s 1918 restored streetcar in a $7-million waterfront home is absurd.
And where did somebody dream up “Celestial Beacon” as the name for an old streetcar and some washrooms? Even if the title made sense – which it does not in our border context — how does an old streetcar and washrooms become related to heavens and astronomy?
Or even celestial space creatures of comic books?
Simple question, how does any interpretation of “celestial” fit in with Windsor’s streetcars or regional history?
Surely a restored 1918 streetcar deserves an attractive location, but not on the waterfront.
It makes no sense either in terms of the existing waterfront sculptures, parking or even traffic volume. Washrooms would be nice, but do they need to be celestial?

Our Gordie Howe Bridge will be festooned with First Nations art. That is a wonderful tribute to many local First Nation artists and their heritage.
But is there room at the new bridge to offer tribute to two other important groups?
