If the owners want it down town, and feel it is the only option, then they will have to agree to fund at least 50% of the total cost.Own the land and pay taxes on it. Until then, this clumsy effort to sway public opinion to thinking it is a good deal for all, lacks any thought of why the NDP was elected. The Public is sick of the corporate give-aways. I'm sure the Wildrose would have forged ahead without blinking(and maybe that is what the owners were banking on ). I say this gets shelved until a more corporate friendly government assumes power and can save the owners hundreds of millions is construction costs.
