I’ll throw this article in the ring for discussion. I don’t see private contribution to the project a problem, in fact I think it increases the likelihood of the project getting off the ground. What a don’t like and what’s made very clear in the article is back room deals. We have literally no clue what has been done on this file. For all we know there is nothing.
As for the design you shared from the link, yuk!

Frankly I'm surprised Jacques Poitras didn't write this article. The 'influence' is politicians devolved authority to museum directors, while separately, Irving has expressed an interest in making a major donation to the museum. CBC just went back to its normal sources- a guy who couldn't hack it as mayor, by his own words, and David Coon. They're both about as in the loop as we are on here.
EDIT: Darling also failed to get anything going regarding the Museum and it seemed to be a back burner issue for him at best during his elongated tenure, so, there you have it.
