Its not his idea, although he'll try and make people think it is.

However, the multipurpose stadium doesn't need to get built in order to create low income housing and condos on Taylor Field land - there is plenty of land available for that within the core already. Furthermore, an argument could be made that a renovated Taylor Field could free up the rail lands for low income housing and condos, if that was a priorty. I'm surprised you haven't jumped all over "tax abatements for companies that contribute to the stadium" - you've made your political views quite clear in the past, so I can't see you supporting subsidies for enticing private investment (or low income housing, which is something out of the old, "socialist" NDP's playbook, right?)
Either way, I find it ironic that you say Mandryk "gets it" now that a small part of his message lines up with yours - Just last week you were making every attempt to marginalize him and discredit his views! Regardless, much of his article also raises important questions as to the funding, etc that myself and others have been asking too...
On a related note, does anyone know how much the land remediation costs for the rail lands are? Is it already factored into the price of the stadium project? Thanks...

Sorry bdog but I ain't getting baited into another pissin match with you, you know my thoughts on this project and i ain't going to regurjitate them once again. When I said Mandryk finally gets it, it was in regards to the fact that this is project is about much more than just a new stadium, sorry I didn't point out the obvious to you. Its pretty obvious that the only reason why you participate in this thread is to talk down to and try to discredit those who want this project completed as is (ie. as evidenced by your suggestion that we put a lowincome housing project beside the Dewdney Avenue strip, the Casino, and Regina's biggest shopping mall) Brilliant idea lol
That said, if your continuous negative participation in this thread has something to do with a Winnipeg inferiority complex, I don't really know and don't really care. Welcome to my ignore list, you got one Regina stadium thread closed with your Debbie Downer negative "You can't do it" schtick, I ain't going to participate in letting you achieve another.
