Even this is not a slam-dunk though and there will be a battle to get this passed. IMO, if that alone happened it would be huge enough.
I agree and this is the key, if UWO buys the old City Hall it forces the city's hand and that is a good thing. From what UWO president Amit Chakma says it certainly sounds like this is something that is going to happen.
