Basically I am saying let's be business leaders, not finger pointers. Leave those games to politicians because I don't care about what 'he' did. I care how I would do it or would like to see it done.

Fair enough. But given that business relies so heavily on trust (capitalism, commerce, contract law are all exercises in trust--parties agree to provide a good or service expect to get paid, and vice versa) thinking like business leaders would behove us to cease doing business with entities that so heavily violate trust.

Finger pointing or not, the Ti-Cats betrayed Hamilton by threatening to leave and playing the part of a bad-faith partner in siting the stadium; they betrayed Hamilton's future by re-directing public money for their private gain, and our Mayor has also violated the public trust by flip-flopping and facilitating this abuse of (misplaced, IMHO) goodwill towards a corporation who would have left us flapping in the wind.

I want to move forward as much as the next guy, Lawrence, but that starts with the parties involved taking responsibility, making a break with history, and rebuilding trust: the Ti-Cats should pay for their own stadium, not hit the city up for money, more money, and then guarantees. And our Mayor? Obviously he should resign. Simple. As. That.
