Surette and Epstein are two old extremist lefties and really have a very small constituency. The same old suspects like Allan Robertson are trying to take another kick at the can due to the planning hearings coming up but really I think there is very little chance of anything happening. To me it is very simple:

Has the 1978-vintage WTCC been good for the city? --> The answer is clearly yes.

Is the WTCC obsolete and too small now? --> Also a yes.

Will a new convention center resolve these issues? --> Another yes.

Really, there is no other option but to proceed.
