Don't blame Scott Mitchell. Yes, he's a bully who was so stubborn that, rather than admit he was wrong, chose to forge ahead with a site that featured none of the amenities that he had previously framed as "deal breakers". The ONLY reason he "succeeded" was the fact that gutless, spineless Hamilton Councillors folded in the face of the threat that the Tiger Cats would move. They didn't even have the parts to ask him "where?"

The West Harbour stadium was Hamilton's "once in a lifetime" opportunity to tie the downtown to the waterfront in a viable manner that would benefit countless stakeholders including the Tiger-Cats but most importantly taxpayers. While every jurisdiction in North America that has a waterfront was doing or already had done just that, our shortsighted Councillors bought in to a profoundly empty threat from a football team that won't even exist in twenty years.

It's no wonder that Hamilton continues to be seen as the joke that our Council keeps proving it is.
