Thanks Borelli. I just don't want the Cats to think that we think there proposals are not worthy and that most importantly, that we don't appreciate what they bring to our city. I for one do appreciate them and am trying to see this process as just standard procedure. Trying not to be judgemental for once. There is just many things about it that I don't like.

I want the Cats to know that this is about 'we as a city are hurting', not that we feel the Cats or council on the flipside, are a bunch of bullies or half-wits. How do we help our people, and save the Cats too? The people though, do need to come first.

I went to my first Ti-Cat game with my dad last weekend in a very long time. Years we both figured. I can't imagine that never happening again. I had such a great time with my dad, as I have when I have taken my one daughter a couple of times. I hope I will be able to take my youngest next year as well - with my whole heart I want that, and more time with my dad and all of my family at whatever stadium the Cats play in.

I want us to have our cake and eat it too, but as it relates to a new stadium, the best thing that could happen is that suddenly so much private sector money floats foreward, that we don't even need the future fund to build this stadium.

Big fat dream? Perhaps, but it could be one of only a few ways we as a city can feel good about building new versus just working with the old - if that would even in itself, keep the Cats here.
