OK, I get the Devil's advocate caveat.

  1. I agree, we need to seek the input of the residents of the Central Neighbourhood Association. The North End Neighbours have every right to offer their views on the WH location, but let's be clear they are not the neighbourhood association that represents the WH. They are right across the tracks from the WH, so they are close. I attended the meeting they organized on Monday night. it was well attended and of real value. I told the organizers so. But my neighbourhood association borders the other side of the neighbourhood association that represents the WH, so I too feel entitled to offer my views too. The NEN and I agree on residential as part of the development for the WH. Where we disagree is on density.

  2. We have never had a signed agreement with the Cats, and we still don't. It was the majority of Council that voted 7 times for the WH, not just Fred. He happened to be one of very few of them who took an informed and principled stand. He explained his rationale - city building. He lost. Hard for me to be objective, because I voted for him, but I still have a huge amount of respect for him. Bob Young's stadium revisionism as spouted yesterday at the BYOB (Bring Your Own Bob) media conference is worthy of praise from Josef Stalin.

How's that, Devil's advocate? :-)
