Really, aren't there scoolls begging for maintenance that could use money like this? Wouldn't some affordable housing be a better use of some of these funds.
I'm not against the project, but it seems to me like a "nice to have" when there are plenty of "needed yesterday" type of projects.
But if this is a case where they are getting the groundwork laid but no real money is spent yet, then I am all for forward thinking. We need more of that. Just as long as kids aren't going to school in leaky classrooms and low income workers aren't on the street just so an oil executive can get to Edmonton a bit quicker.
