What I'd like to know is why has this news about north stands been hidden from taxpayers for so long?

Answer: to not reopen the debate.

Taxpayers have been duped.

And so 'what is going to happen now?' in terms of these questions being answered by Council members, in terms of comments issues by the public, in terms of reversing the sense that 'we're being duped'?

Seriously. A message board will address all this? Emails to Councillors? A Bill Kelly session?

This is precisely why we need a forum for information, for dialogue, for protest, actually. In fact, it's as if the stars have aligned to show us that we need this forum: the Federal Building, the BOE situation, the Connaught, 245 Catherine Street North...the Pan Am Games Stadium, the Velodrome...

And this is why I'm continuing to endeavour to get us what we probably need more than anything else:

Ryan and Raise the Hammer were one of the core partners I had on my Wish List for getting these town hall meetings organized, initiated, promoted and executed.

I've said it before: RTH is a noble-intentioned-but-static online 'town hall meeting'. It has a ceiling on what can be accomplished before it turns into a mobius strip.

Commenting on a message board is admirable. But let's go to the next step: http://mystoneycreek.blogspot.com/2011/0...
