Because They Can

The hearing into the expropriation of the properties on the south side of Colborne St. was held the other day. When it was first announced Councilor Littell said he welcomed the chance to get the information on the plans for these properties in front of the public. Well I must have missed something, because according to reports, the only plans for this stretch is the new Y building that has be rumoured to be located here for about a decade. And even though the owner is willing to sell, the City seems to feel that they need to expropriate all 41 properties. Their justification: because they can! Pathetic! Truly pathetic!!
