Here is my thoughts on this matter. Does the province really need another events centre in the southern part of the province? I think not. This may hurt some peoples feelings, but here goes: Some of you in Moncton have to get over the idea that Moncton has to have it all. Really the only thing wrong with the Coliseum is its getting old. Look at the old Maple Leaf Gardens. It was used for hockey for over 65 years it only had 15000 seats for a city the size of Toronto. There are a lot of different things that the province can spend the money on. Yes roads are one of them. Lets face it people. The province is broke and there is only so much money to go around! If the Coliseum is no good anymore just do some renovation work or tear it down and build a condo complex for the masses. Harbour Station is a great venue and has hosted many great acts in the past and could service southern part of the province when it comes to entertainment of that sort. Why have a duplicate in Moncton. Many of us have come to realize we have to get in our car to get better shopping in Moncton. Catch a better flight in Moncton. Use that land for something else that the southern part of the province doesn't already have. Surely you people have cars and can drive an hour to use another facility in a different city. You have wanted others to do this for years! It might be finally your turn. I applaud the Premiers cautious approach in this matter. The money could be used somewhere else.
