All I can say is I hope this story is fantastical. Otherwise, I'm concerned that Hamilton is once again betting we will fail, this time in our attempts to ensure innovation is part of our future economy. Allocating a minimum of 20-30 acres to a stadium in and around our barely born Innovation Park is misguided, to say the least. So much for city building as a goal.

If Bob Young says he supports this idea, surely I'm trapped inside an episode of Green Acres, such is the inanity of this suggested location.

I want to build a city, not build an out for the Ti-Cats. Certainly they are part of our cultural fabric, but the fact is they are only a part of it, this despite "Foxey's" vacuous nonsense on CHML that the "Ti-Cats are our source of civic pride." Talk about a pea-less whistle!

A $120 million stadium gift should be enough for Young as a so-called partner to say, "Whatever location you select, we will be there with a huge smile on our face and an enormous debt of gratitude in our heart." Greedy is my conclusion. Always has been. Enough of the pandering. Stand tall. Build a city, not a stadium!
