Talk:Pine Grove, Norfolk County, Ontario

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Accuracy

Things to check:

  • is this a conservative neighbourhood (and for which definition of conservative)?
  • do dogs truly deter people from walking, and is this causal to obesity?
  • for that matter, are people in the hamlet obese?

Here are the answers to some of the questions that Mindmatrix asked on this discussion page.

1. By the term "conservative neighbourhood," I mean a neighbourhood where moral values from the 1950s (husband is considered absolute owner of all marital property) and where businesses almost never change hands from one family to another. Looking at it on hindsight, I realize now that "patriarchal neighbourhood" might be better word to describe it.

2. Yes, dogs to deter people from walking because they tend to prey on human beings. Although they have regular rabies innoculations, they often run loose on Pine Grove's streets, which inhibits people from walking, and in time, makes them overweight.
