For most developments, the funding doesnt come from the city or province. This development isn't like any regular office tower.

True. I was merely pointing out that regardless, no other government did anything other than talk big when it came to new developments that they would be involved in (new convention centre, new provincial office building on birk's site etc). I am not excusing the NDP if they do turn this down, because I agree that this project DESPERATELY needs to be built. If they turn it down I will be the 1st to say they were wrong. I am just making the point that all the Tories did was talk, and in terms of the Nova Centre it was really nothing more than a potential sorta promise rushed out in a mid-guided attempt at winning Halifax votes just before an election call.
As I have said before, I am not NDP or PC or anything else... I think all politicians are equally useless! *GRIN* I just take umbridge when people seem to assume that a PC government was so much better for development, when the fact is I don't see a single new development that was built (of any kind, convention centre of not) during the past PC government's tenure that they could take credit for.
