This has also resulted in a series of 'letters to the editor' supporting his views. His reporting has not been very balanced.
I am all for everyone expressing their opinions freely, but perhaps those of us who may actually support this kind of development for our city need to be a bit more vocal. As always....those that oppose, always seem to be the more motivated to be heard.
I would encourage supporters on here to, at minimum, remind your city councilor of your support and maybe submit a letter to the editor of Star Phoenix to balance out the opinions! I have!!

I think you are referring to Phil Tank, not Mandryck. Mandryck has some credibility as a journalist. Tank seems to solely spend his days trying to insight controversy and rage, whether he has to make things up or not.
