But I am left with a serious question: is your main complaint A: the change of municipal strategy on Watson? Or B: that the public was not consulted?<br /><br />If it is A: that is slightly stupid because the definition of lunacy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Obviously the last groups failed multiple times so these new people tried a new approach and got a better result.<br /><br />If it is B: that is also slightly stupid because they all ran on a platform to get Watson Island back on the tax roll ASAP. There are no surprises here. The only complaint is that it took them 3 whole years to do it.<br /><br />You should go to the open house to ask questions, not anonymously bash a young man for finally having some hope for that hell hole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-56487438825676559642017-12-01T13:32:43.015-08:002017-12-01T13:32:43.015-08:00Not sure how you have divined that opinion that I ...Not sure how you have divined that opinion that I am misleading on anything from my piece. <br /><br />I found two notes from the fourteen paragrpahs that caught my eye and expanded on the themes that struck me as interesting.<br /><br />At no point did I treat the story as anything other than the observations that the Councillor had presented.

I certainly don’t remember getting consulted when Jack Mussallem got us into yet another legal battle. I think what matters is that this council got that forsaken mill torn down, and got it back in business. And if you’re worried about how these guys are making decisions, why don’t you show up to a council meeting and express your concerns? Right, I forgot, you hide behind the computer from a distance, demanding democracy be upheld yet don’t want to participate yourself because you’re too afraid to put your name out there and face criticism. So I guess these guys will continue to do whatever they want, and you’ll continue to watch and complain hoping someone somewhere will ask the hard questions because you’re too afraid to ask them yourself. If you’re concerned on the direction of this town, then run for office. In the meantime, what the young councillor wrote resonated me with and I know many in the community. I’ll be attending the open house looking for further information. Great job to this council for being positive, forward thinking and not afraid to make decisions.
