The numbers that I have are 578 against (save the view) and 898 for the convention centre.  |
2 shy of 900 - nice. I think it's time we start signing the names of dead relatives roflol. I'm joking of course, but after seeing a repeat of the Simpsons when Sideshow Bob won because of dead anything voting - just a thought.
I've always believed that government should have role in making a city great; in this case - yes it's risky, but any big project like this would be. So would be building the fast ferry or regional rail - what if people don't use it? You can't have progress without some level of risk. As a planner by profession, I'd love to come back to Halifax for a planning conference - there would be so many things you could talk about and focus on (including heritage). I mean the walking tours alone would be wonderful!
