Greenbelt grievances

"Behind one of the barns on Eliane Michele Crematy’s farm on Ramsayville Road is the rusted carcass of a Ford truck.

The windows are smashed, the vinyl seats are slashed and the white paint has turned grey with time. A Manitoba maple tree and other weeds threaten to swallow the truck whole with their foliage.

This isn’t Crematy’s truck, but it’s been there since the day she moved onto the farm almost two years ago.

She has asked the National Capital Commission — her landlord — to remove the truck, yet here it remains."
