Here's an idea. Let's place a time limit on this whole thing. Most people here are clearly more in support of a WH site, but there's also a lot of scepticism about whether we need a stadium at all.

Bob Young really isn't helping this. The last thing this city needs is another influential plutocrat in some public-private grey area, whether it be private sports franchises masquerading as public utilties, or HECFI-style bureaucrats. This city is already full-to-the-brim with pompous windbags spouting grandiose visions which require tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.

There's at least a dozen people who post here on a regular basis who take any of these clowns to the cleaners in a public debate. Five minutes from now an open, public game of ball hockey is going to start on the roof of Jackson Square. It's been running, regularly, for years, off volunteers and second-hand equipment. This is the kind of vision we need for Hamilton, and these are the kind of people we need putting it forward.

"Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century." — Lewis Mumford
