Indeed there were. So what is your point? Seven consecutive or seven hundred consecutive votes does not make a consensus. It merely shows that seven times the council decided to vote in a certain way. Was there even a consensus among the council? Did they ever vote unanimously? Did they vote unanimously seven times? Is your memory really that short that you cannot remember all the opposing points of view? All the calls and all the posts? If you cannot then the rest of us certainly can.

Consensus means that everybody agrees or at least goes along with it. While there may very well have been a consensus among the Ryan faithful there certainly was not a consensus any place else. I believe that IWS is not a good site for a stadium but WH is even worse. Thank goodness some others agreed with me.

I read so many saying that they will now stop supporting the Ticats. For what end? Suppose that because of your lack of support the TiCats end up going bankrupt in 10 years after the glow of new stadium wears off. Just how will that help our fair city? How will it help anybody or anything except your shallow sense of justification? I do not know how long the TiCats or the CFL can or will survive, both have been on life support more than once. I am not a big CFL fan nor for that matter a big football fan in general but I think our city, in fact our whole country would be worse off without the CFL than with it. I think it is cool to have something definitively Canadian but you are free to disagree with that point of view. Maybe you would be happier if we lose the CFL and anything else that makes us unique and different from our American neighbours.
