Agreed, Hammy.

Look, I'm all for getting rid of the old Rheem site, and putting the land to better use. But I've said all along (yes, even before the Ticats said they didn't like the site), that a stadium is NOT the solution. I was not a fan of East Mountain, just kind of thought it was a random site (chosen by the city to appease Bob Young, full well knowing that they would vote against it). Loved Aberdeen and Longwood, but agreed the price tag was far too much. My favourite is Confederation Park, but Mr. Collins obviously has something else planned for that site (thus the allegations of vote trading). As far as the current IWS site, I'm OK with it, as long as the Tiger-cats are sure they can be successful there.

Actually to be honest, the priority for downtown should be getting those vacant buildings up and running and getting rid of the halfway house. Opportunity for West Harbour will come, slowly but surely.
