[rfmcdonald]

• CBC Hamilton reports on patterns of misconduct by members of armed forces units in the Hamilton, Ontario, area.


• That the Cape Breton Post, main newspaper of that island, may no longer be printed in Halifax says much about that city's growing dominance of Nova Scotia (and, too, of Cape Breton's decline). CBC reports.


• Building a new library on the waterfront of Sydney, in Cape Breton, might well anchor a wider revitalization of that city. CBC reports.


• Guardian Cities shares the story of how the Swedish iron ore-mining town of Kiruna, facing subsidence, is literally moving kilometres away.


• The Inter Press Services notes that the Rwandan capital of Kigali will have a downtown ecotourism park.
