I would love love love to see more good manufacturing jobs in the city, we desperately need more good, private jobs.

I'm not sure how contaminated that land is east of of the malt plant. CN had a dump site by Ravenhurst years ago so that might impact development due to potential methane gas migration.

After discussing with some people about the poor state of Cineplex event screenings, has there ever been any reason for the fact that Cineplex refuses to update the Scotiabank Theatre? It houses the only IMAX screen in the city but doesn't even have reclining seats like almost every other theatre in the city. It's very bizarre that they built the Junxion at KP but still treat Polo like the "flagship" location even though it's the worst one in the city. Have there ever been any rumors regarding a renovation or expansion of the location?
