Just once I would like to see Bob Bratina get as excited about this project as he used to. These aren't the words of a man who wants to make this work, these are the words of a defeated man who has already given up. When he really wants to see something happen, he starts pulling out-of-the-box solutions from his hat. Sometimes they're a little unorthodox, some might say hair-brained, but at least you can tell he's trying.

With the signals he's sending, why would any developer want to get behind this? You don't go around buying up property based on an un-funded proposal that may not be operational for 5-10 years unless you get some very strong signals that it's going to happen. With the number of unrealized dreams in this City that started and ended with concept drawings, it's no wonder developers are shy. I think the only reason they're flocking to invest around All-Day GO is because it's largely the province driving it and there's a sense that Hamilton can't possibly screw it up... but then we've diverted 5 or 6 staff to it, so stay tuned........
