Regina has been sold an empty basket of goods and has fallen for it.
Reminds me of the Simpson's monorail episode.

Regina is already a compact city and its bursting at the seams
The CPR relocation and the Loblaws distribution center for western Canada are already the major anchors for the new GTH.
but the Simpson's comparison is food for thought when it comes too many new ideas.
The container traffic into and out of southern Saskatchewan would surprise people....Regina is ready to play spoiler when it comes to other cities inland ports.
I dont think Regina will become an "Ogdenville"..nor will Winnipegs become a ""Springfield".....in the end they may compliment each others...but i do love competition.
