He said that AFTER he said that it's a 50 year old problem that doesn NOT need a 50 year old solution. Soooo... Maybe I need to read more of his site, but after reading that, I'm not sure he's the guy I'll be voting for.
BUT, it did get me thinking a bit about the RR problem again. Maybe there might be a possible way to re-negotiate with the Tuss Tina. The original plan was a big swath of land more or less in line with the end of sarcee and joining up with the southren part of 37th. I wonder if the city has ever considered trying to simply purchase a few meters of land directly adjacent to 37th? I mean, instead of expropriating the people that live backing on to 37th, buy the first 50 meters of reserve land along 37th. Maybe the tsuutina feel differently about that land? Didnt they claim that the other swath would have involved going over some "sacred" land? I'm a honkey, so no land is sacred to me. I have no idea whether they're BSing about it, or what, but who am I to say.
