Prior to the merger, Aylmer's residents and municipal laws had strongly opposed extensive construction programs. Following the amalgamation, many of the sector's prized green spaces were cut down for residential construction. Ex-Aylmer neighbourhoods like Wychwood and Village Lucerne have seen their cherished wilderness sold to contractors. As a result of this unchecked development, there is a strong resentment of the current municipal administration among Aylmer Sector citizens.

Recent debate over the status of Aylmer's Boucher Forest has resulted in the formation of the Aylmer Radical Youth Alliance, a group devoted to challenging the municipality's positions regarding the construction of "Bush decks", small structures built by youths in the forest to escape the town. They have been labelled destructive vandals by many, but are also seen as a positive force for change by socialists and anarchists in the area.

Transportation

Roads and Recreational Pathways

Aylmer is served by provincial highway 148 (known as the Boulevard de l'Outaouais within city limits) which extends from Shawville where it becomes the 301, through all of Gatineau, to Montréal, about two hours away. Other main roads include the Chemin d'Aylmer (formerly Rue Principale), Lucerne bvld., Vanier, Eardley, Broad/Klock, and Wilfrid-Lavigne. Ch.

Public Transit

Public transit is provided by the Société de transport de l'Outaouais or STO, which runs twelve bus lines through the sector (although many only during rush hour). The STO has been criticized by Aylmer residents -- particularly youth -- for not providing enough service to the area, and for not providing enough inter-sector bus lines (the eastern terminus for most Aylmer lines in the Rideau Centre in downtown Ottawa). The STO is planning a bus rapid transit system known as Rapibus that would connect the Hull and Gatineau sectors, with the possibility of an expansion to Aylmer.

Politics

Federal

In terms of population, Aylmer makes up about one third of the riding of Hull—Aylmer, which has elected a Liberal member of parliament in every federal election since its conception in 1984 -- its predecessors, the ridings of Hull and Wright, in place from 1892 to 1984, also only ever elected Liberals. The riding is currently represented in the house of commons by MP Marcel Proulx, who narrowly beat Bloc Québécois runner-up Alain Charette by 17,573 to 15,788 votes (or 33.7 to 29.4 percent) in the 2006 federal election. With its large anglophone population and many of its residents working for the federal government and/or commuting to Ottawa, Aylmer has traditionally been and remains to be a federalist stronghold, although support for sovereignty has risen in the last decade.

Municipal

In the 2005 Gatineau municipal election, Aylmer voters showed particularly strong support for current mayor Marc Bureau, over incumbent and former mayor of "old" Gatineau Yves Ducharme. Similar voting patterns appeared in the sectors of Buckingham and Masson-Angers, the other two "outlying" regions of Gatineau. This could be due to a perception among residents that the Ducharme administration was more focused on the urban core of the new city, as opposed to the periphery, as well as the rapid development of greenspaces into residential subdivisions. However, six months after the November election, residents are showing the highest level of dissatisfaction with the Bureau administration out of all the sectors, citing Aylmer's being left out of municipal processes, poor quality of municipal services, and little to no action to halt suburban sprawl. Interestingly, Masson-Angers and Buckingham residents are presently showing the most support for the new government. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Amalgamation and De-Amalgamation

In 2002 the City of Aylmer became a part of Gatineau when the then-Parti Québécois government forcibly merged several clusters of cities and metropolitain areas throughout Québec. Residents of Aylmer were particularily against the amalgamation, citing fears of reduced municipal services, more suburban development, and a loss of cultural identity, as well as geographic differences (Hull and Gatineau arguably constitute a region of conurbation, whereas Aylmer was at the time separated by an expanse of sparsely-inhabited greenspace). The Parti Québécois or PQ is a political party that advocates national sovereignty for Quebec from Canada, as well as social democratic policies and has traditionally had support from the labour movement though unlike other social democratic parties it has no formal ties with labour. ...

A movement was started to halt the "forced fusion" of the five cities that had particularly strong support in Aylmer. Signs reading "Je me souviendrai des fusions forcées" (literally, "I will remember forces fusions," a play on Québec's motto "Je me souviens") were a common sight. Word play is a literary technique in which the nature of the words used themselves become part of the subject of the work. ...


When the Québec Liberal Party won the 2003 provincial election, these new cities were allowed to demerge. A referendum was held to decide the fate of the City of Gatineau which required a double majority: at least 35% of eligible voters from a given sector had to cast ballots, and more than 50% of these had to be in favour of de-amalgamation. Aylmer voters chose to separate from Gatineau but not enough ballots were cast, meaning Aylmer remained a sector of the larger city.

On July 6, 2005, the popular Glenwood Plaza shopping centre burned down, destroying 45 businesses and causing approximately $35 million in damages as well as the loss of about 300 jobs. The fire was started around 2:00 am and was not fully under control until late afternoon; there were fears at one point of flames spreading to the townhouses behind the mall, or to the gas station next to it. Many surrounding houses suffered extensive flooding and water damage due to the quantity of water needed to douse the fire. 90 firefighters were called in from around Gatineau and Ottawa. It was reported that smoke from the fire was visible as far as Barrhaven, about 15 km southeast. Image File history File links Aylmer_fire_cell_cam. ...

Built in the 60's, the building was the oldest mall in Aylmer -- a factor that may have contributed to the size of the fire, as much of the roof was made of wood and tar. At the time, the mall counted among its tenants a grocery store, a Vidéotron video store, a liquor store, a paint shop, a gym, a music school, a café, a bakery, a pharmacy, a Giant Tiger, a youth centre, and a pet shop (most of the animals were rescued before the fire reached it), as well as a post office.
