Another great comment was, Mandel is bankrupting the city. They also found a way to blame Mandel for the lack of an adequate LRT system.
It was a frustrating exercise.
Back to our discussion. I am all for going after the Games if it means updating and adding to our legacy buildings, this would also help build out the airport lands. Look at TOs games village. Dare to dream. Regrettably my sport is not a Commonwealth Games Core Sport.
