Hi Kiely. Well, no I don't accept that decisions cannot be changed, so even if its probably a done deal, the fat lady has not sung, and elections are coming. Any new incoming administration can do what Mulroney did with the helicopters, or was it subs. That's reality and to deny it is to deny what is legally possible and history itself. In the helicopter case, a penalty was payable, can someone say if there is a penalty clause here? I'm a bit worried they'll sneak one in while our back is turned, or some such poison pill. But I doubt it has got to that stage yet. Also, if memory serves, Dalton seems to have backed right out of the LRT and methinks he has been served up a dose of reality lately in that he seems to be serious about cuts and /or tax increases. But I hardly pay enough attention to know for sure.

Obviously, the downvoters are hoping folks will ignore or believe legal possibilities are not possible, and if financial conditions remain favourable, sentiment will continue to favour going ahead. I however believe that conditions can change rather suddenly in this environment and am hoping that come October, people will see reality a little more clearly and will understand that wasting this money on a non essential will only ensure Hamilton economic environment remains unfavourable. What's missing is for someone to step up to the plate with a different, more conservative/practical/financially responsible vision. Bhutani is not commenting here for some strange reason. This is his chance to alter the course of events.
