Unfortunately, council encourage the Highland neighbours by letting them think that that massive
list of things they did not like about the plan would be considered, A few critical details, even large ones,might have been negotiated but the whole darn thing ? No.
Cllr Mrakas has only to look at what happened with Newmarket.

There was an election intervening here.
You can't blame residents for electing candidates sympathetic to their cause.
You can't blame candidates who believe municipal councils have more authority than they do.

Yet supportive voices are relatively muted.

It's a funny old world.
Election promises in regards to this development? Really? Whoever these councillors were...remember them in the next election.

had roots in a rate=payers' group once upon a time.
ReplyDeleteGallo's root are shallow and with no substance.
Please give me a break.
A base? Harper had a base and a fat lot of good that did him.
South of the border the strongest base is the N.R.A.
I am waiting for Mr trump to remember Canada. If he expect the Mexicans to build a southern wall, he
