It is interesting how some politicians, such as the Mayor who is quite controlling and who is known for backroom deals (he supported a downtown casino, and all of the sudden it had to be at Rideau Carleton, the Salvation Army's relocation is another example), raises no questions on the process and even goes as far as verbally attacking anyone who does. Those who follow his lead are either —-ups or involved.
And criticizing Chianello and Deans for questioning the process and revealing incriminating details brings up the following; is it better to stick our heads in the sand and let what might be a flawed or corrupt process go unnoticed or is it better to call out irregularities and hold those responsible to account.
We might be wrong (the doubters) might be wrong. Maybe the entire process went according to plan with no corruption, no regularities. So far though, a few details just don't seem right.

Yeah, not being willing to take without question the level of accuracy raised by two historically hyperbolic people (Deans and Chianello) over the actual details of the procurement process (which no-one here knows without speculation) is sticking one’s head in the sand, sure.
Feel free to continue to see them as bastions of truth and fact if you wish. Questioning them and waiting for facts before making declarative assumptions as fact, as many on here are doing, is the path I will take.
