Let's put out energy grid, which people are already worried about now that its owned by Hydro One, and put an unnecessary strain on it where people are worried these data centres will cause brownouts, for an industry everyone is guessing will eventually burst at some point. Great idea Jeff.

People who drive big trucks going 70 through a 30km zone and get mad when they get ticketed.
So, y'know... Dougie's closest friends and donors.

Developers may have eyes but once they see the incredible amounts of environmental assessments that will be required before any reuse is considered, it will kill those plans immediately.
The reality is GE will be a massive black hole in the middle of #PTBO for the rest of our lives.

Huge waste of tax dollars sending police and staff to get the unhoused to move along, then a double whammy of paying for "shelter" space thats unused and unusable.
Here's an idea: instead of spending all this money bullying homeless people you use it to provide housing and make them not homeless?

And I get that, completely. Municipal budgeting is a delicate balance of portfolios. Ignore arenas and you get complaints. Same with roads.
That's why social housing is so miniscule in Ptbo. The complaints council would get if they diverted arena money to housing... which they absolutely should.

I've seen quite a few councils in my time and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a council where that complaint hasn't been pressed against them.
Also, you can consult with the community. You can get those opposing views. That doesn't mean they're obligated to agree with those opposing views.

What I found is that people constantly complain they're not being consulted but then rarely end up attending community consultation sessions. And they pay city staff to show up and listen to complaints from the same handful of people. 2/2

When I was a reporter I remember when people complained about the lack of consultation in Daryl Bennett's council. Therrien's council came in and promised a revamp of consultation. Went to some sessions and saw it was the same 10 people who showed up every time and always had been. 1/2
