I'm with Steve here, Larry. Your article is unbelievably naive, and with all due respect, it's the exact type of "bygones be bygones" pap that both Bobs hope the City swallows with eager abandon.

You and others are welcome to forget the past year as quickly as possible, and move forward optimistically wrt IWS 2.0, but I have to challenge the idea that willful ignorance of history makes for good citizenship.

Our City got played. Bigtime. Drink the kool-aid all you want, but everytime I pay my property tax bill, I'll be reminded of the massive corporate gift/grift sitting on Balsam Ave. It's a disgusting waste of taxpayer money that provides no return on investment (sorry, but if IWS 1.0 couldn't drag Ward 3 out of its doldrums, this renovation surely won't).

Council's unified front only shows me that no one sitting around that table has the integrity to stand up for ethical use of shared resources. Every one of those shills should hang their heads. But sadly, judging by people's apparent desire to sweep this shameful history under the rug, it seems as though Hamilton got the council it deserves.
