If Bob Young was smarter he should have leaked this propsal to Burlington a few months ago so atleast they could study it in secret because Hamilton kept changing it's mind on sites. I was siding with Young for awhile but looking back I was wrong both sides have really messed this up. WH wouldn't have killed the ti-cats because of poor signage or parking they would have done well. The city though in it's indecision and waffling on various sites is also to blame.
