      <![CDATA[The Saga of desperately seeking a stadium represents council lunacy at its finest. When the dust settled on a Dead on Arrival concept ,which the province and feds would not support with money, the entire thing was punctuated with a David Hensbee brain fart on the Rick Howe show.

      <![CDATA[I don't disagree with the assessment of our current city council, but I disagree with the hyperbole. City council in the 1960s were pretty heavily involved in coercing and forcibly removing people-- expropriating land from private citizens-- from Africville, Brunswick Street, and a big chunk of downtown-- in order to create the shining legacy of the Uniacke Square projects, Scotia Square complex and that highway to nowhere that eats up most of the waterfront.

      <![CDATA[THe only thing I see Steve Streatch did...was a no brainer, we have no buses, why would we pay a bus tax ?<br>
( I and the many people I know out here in the boonies don't want one.)<br>
<br>
Maybe we could get him to fight to make sure buses never come near us .<br>
If its true he's off politicin' when he should be in budget meetings, I've got a real problem with that. All of them should be required to attend unless they just died, or at least be allowed an opportunity to put their views forward & a vote.... if they were hospitalized & couldn't attend, but could still articulate.<br>
 Otherwise appoint someone to represent the district !<br>
I can't believe that can even conduct business IF THAT BUSINESS concerns a district & that district is unrepresented.
