Stronach's 'Canadaville' opens in Louisiana
A controversial housing project built by Canadian business magnate Frank Stronach officially opened in the heart of Louisiana's bayou country on Saturday.

Some 120 victims of Hurricane Katrina will be moving into 49 three-bedroom, 1,300-square-foot homes on the outskirts of Simmesport, about 100 km from Baton Rouge.

It is part of a spread of more than 300-hectare spread of farmland, now dubbed "Canadaville," which will eventually serve as an organic farm for growing vegetables and raising cattle and poultry.
