If Jeff Hunt folds and his partners walk away from the football venture, what happens to the two stadia that will remain empty and unused all over again?
Ottawa is paying the bill for the renovation of the Frank Clair Stadium and building a new one on the South side. Apparently, that's $300 millions of taxpayers dollars over 30 years.
These are high-end legal and accounting manoeuvres done by experts.
Most of us are probably out of that field. How about our elected representatives sitting at City Council? What's their level of expertise?

That is another issue . Registering in Manitoba is probably just meant to address the debt by one of the partner iisues. it is what it is and not meant to solve all potential issues.
About the level of expertise of City council--pretty low, always has been and always will be. One can not expect city councillors to be experts in all fields. The electorate could choose to elect 24 twenty years olds , all with a grade 10 education and work experience as fast food servers only. It would be perfectly legal and democratic under our system.
Only if we could handpick councillors for thier various expertise will this change. I suppose council is supposed to rely on experts like the City Solicitor for guidance.
Certainly not perfect, but what other method should we use? Is perfection in our governemnt actually attainable?
