Well heck, it isn't our money, is it!

My comment on this endorsement of city council's decision about Landsdown Live:
Yeah. Lets pump $100 million we don't have into a stadium which will still not be serviced by major transit, will lack parking, and be surrounded by a noise-adverse residential community -- all for the benefit of a private sporting enterprise (one which echos several past enterprises which have cratered repeatedly) that will use it all of seven or eight times a year.

What could possibly be a downside to that?

That said, I am opposed to soccer in Kanata for the same reason. $100 million we don't have is too much money for either boondoggle.
