...because there is a queue to purchase.
I admire your abilities to imagine 'What Might Have Been'. (My own meanderings have the entire industrial strip gone, and the creation of one of the world's most amazing waterfronts taking its place) But with the Ti-Cats as the primary legacy tenant, this ain't gonna happen.
This really isn't the issue.
I feel like this is a case of déja vu. Weren't we here last year?
Both efforts...the stadium and velodrome...got co-opted. The former by the Ti-Cats, the latter by Mohawk College.
Great leadership requires making cogent decisions based on a solid vision...and sticking to them. (And if it's necessary to walk away from the table...then you walk.) Clearly, we haven't seen 'great leadership' from either this Council...or the last. 'Something's rotten in the state of Denmark', and all that.
Someone elsewhere said it well:
"When you have no target, everything looks like one."
