could be 10 years of multiple Pandemics, you can’t stop building.
I would want to know when fans will be allowed to go back in stadiums/arenas before I put another penny into a new one. What's the point of building a new facility when no one knows what the future holds with this pandemic? Can't stop building homes but more & more people are buying on line which could be the end to malls & stores, we just don't know what the future holds for us.
This city is such a disaster when it comes to conceiving and implementing large-scale developments. What are their signature public projects in the last 30 years? A few KMs of LRT line mired in dysfunction? What a bunch of f***ing losers. I would hate to be an ambitious business person in this city with these doorknobs at the helm.
Well, the Lansdowne development project went pretty well, but the Mayor likes those developers. I wonder how busy those restaurants are when nothing is going on at the arena or stadium? I've been at Lansdowne for lunch a few times during the week & the places had very few people around, I imagine with Covid that there is even less people going these days.
it speaks to his ethics, he doesn’t want to be a part of this community and do his part, he just wants it to make him rich. Even his charity couldn’t stand him
if you have insider info on how he pays his taxes get back to us
I'm not trying to defend the guy, I've been pretty critical of his behaviour for a while now, but it could also be that he doesn't trust this council & this mayor specifically. He & the team as a whole have done quite a bit for this community/CHEO over the yrs & it's only been over the last decade maybe that he's turned into a bit of a dick wad. It's hard to know who to believe when it comes to the politicians in this town or him & his supporters but they clearly don't like each other.
Who knows what we would be like if we had his money & businesses & where we would live & pay taxes? I imagine it's a 1000 times more complicated for billionaires given all the people who want to get a hold of their money & their time. And Watson is still pretty popular in this town & a formidable opponent to go up against or fight against what he wants to do. I'm sure there are two sides, if not more, to every story & issue.
