5:03 pm. Hey !!!! You were on CBC tv just a couple minutes ago Mr. Blair.
Why did we wait a year for this announcement???
Do we know why PCL and not the other two? Was PCL given the go-ahead because they did City Square?
What's the stadium going to look like? Why was that not part of the process?

This is a joke!!!

Here come the haters!
I'd be OK with this if the city wasn't so hush-hush on it. Some transparency is needed here. Why won't they tell us what PCL over the top? What did they do or promise that the other two couldn't. It makes the city look bad. If all goes well, no one will care by 2017 when the Riders move in, but the city doesn't look good here by not releasing the info the public wants.
I could care less about who is building it. I want to know what the place is going to look like and from looking at the HKS website, I think its safe to say we will have a nice little product on our hands.
