As Toronto 2015 CEO Ian Troop said yesterday, “In the case of Hamilton, the stadium debate has to be balanced. This is not about providing a stadium for the Tiger-Cats. If that’s part of the solution, that’s terrific, but that’s not our mandate.”

Perhaps the most Scott Thompson-ish comments I've seen on this subject have been those coming from the camp best described as being clad in black, gold and white. Stridently insisting that this was always about the Ti-Cats.

And to a certain extent, if you're going to 'demonize' Bob Young et al, then you'd also have to at least 'deputy-demonize' such contributors here on RTH. Because in their obdurateness, by ignoring facts, they've been as 'trollish' as anyone I've seen labeled such here over the past year.

When all of this is said-and-done, I believe there's value in examining 'What happened?', 'What went wrong?', 'How could we have better executed this task?'

I'm looking forward to that day, even more than to the resolution to this situation, because I believe that a better handle on processes such as the PanAm Games stadium site selection will pay off far more dividends than any structure that might result in West Harbour or anywhere else.
