I'm not going to support the rhetorical talking point of 'a downtown events centre
must be built' -- because, clearly, it doesn't. What does have to happen is an inversion of Moncton's economic growth. It must turn inward, so the City may use the infrastructure it already has, so that growth in Moncton doesn't necessitate putting more roads and public services on the credit card.
