Sorry MAW.

You're way behind on this issue. As early as July staff received preliminary reports from soil testing at Rheem and as then mayor Eisenberger disclosed remediation costs were going to be far less than initially feared... somewhere in the $3-$5 million range which was well within the budget for the stadium construction. Additionally Hazel is on record as saying "sure we'd love a stadium but we aren't going to put a nickel into it". Mississauga is nearly broke. It has spent all of the development money it received during its explosive growth, revenues barely cover expenses and now infrastructure is coming due for replacement. Hazel will be dead and gone when that city learns her tenure wasn't so great after all and Mississauga is held up as the poster child of urban sprawl.

I'm not sure I get the point of your post. The city developing the Rheem site (no matter what gets put there) will only help White Star in its own projects. The city owns much more than just the Rheem site proper. There is more than enough room for what is planned. Really this has to be one of your poorer trolling efforts. Everything you have posted is old news.
