Consultation does not mean having all your questions answered regardless of quality. It also doesn't mean your objections are meaningful, right, or should be listened to.

Endless consultation just adds cost. Was the 90 page report here worth the 100k it took to write? I mean the answers boil down to: Not a concern, yeah we looked at it and are doing it anyway, your an idiot, and here is how we do things.
Yeah, well, ok. I guess you're right. If the City is going to build it, there's no point in "consulting" over and over. I suppose it's no different than the expropriation for the glenmore/elbow overpass, or the WLRT. It makes the city better.

I just know I'd be pissed if it was my property being affected. Even if I attended 100 meetings, I'd still be pissed.
