Governments should not own publicly accessible shopping centres. See Portage Place and how that turned out. ...
I agree that Pallister's government should do whatever to improve Eaton Place-Cityplace (that's what I still call it, LOL) and build a brand new office tower that, sure, they can own all they want.
Put some retail back into the mall. I don't know what. But please, no more cell phone stores! No jewellery stores. No more fast food joints, as the mall already has plenty. Maybe COLES can go, who reads books anymore?
What I'd like to see is a small mainstream clothing store like an American Apparel would be nice to have. Bring in the good suburban middle-class teens, and keep the riff raff ... OUT!

My disappointment in Mssr. Lamont continues. What a joke response. I thought he supported small business. But I guess he just continues to tow the Trudeau line of big government.
