It made me reflect on the proposed Canadian Tire facility slated to be built on industrial lands in west Bolton. Now, I am neither in favour of or against the new facility proposal. Any legitimate business or corporation like Canadian Tire coming into Bolton is good news when properly sourced and approved. I reflected that the furor over the facility could be nothing more than a distraction from the real issue, which is the upcoming municipal election. I would offer that this “scandal” is simply a smokescreen to distract citizens from the lobbying that has been going on to create a specific developer friendly council. I would offer up for discussion the idea that this is really all about trying to discredit our current mayor and cast aspersions upon our current councillors so that voters will be swayed to bring in a “new and improved” council that will vote for what certain development lobbyists want. Just an idea. I could be way off base, but when the usual suspects and patterns keep appearing, my flags go up. Caledon voters would be wise to pay attention to the real “scandals.” Skid Crease, Caledon --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2014-06-19 15:44:23 Post date GMT: 2014-06-19 19:44:23 Post modified date: 2014-06-19 15:44:23 Post modified date GMT: 2014-06-19 19:44:23 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
