Whoa, talk about lack of local democracy. The news that the feds and province won't fund West Harbour is pretty depressing. The question now is whether East Mountain has enough votes on council. With the fact the city will have to pony up a bunch of future fund cash, plus what looks like considerable expenses for the East Mountain, especially forgone tax revenue from what will end up as a rarely used parking lot makes it less likely. McCarthy, Merulla and McHattie are probably definite nos. Bratina could be a no, considering that he is appearing at the rally for the West Harbour tomorrow, although I'm not sure. Brad Clark is a definite yes for the East Mountain. Others I'm not sure about.
The only positive is that the Cats could end up staying at Ivor Wynne if the city has the balls to tell the feds and the province to go fuck themselves. Which is what I'm really hoping will happen.
