It's funny how anyone who does not think that development is good just because it is development is somehow labelled a socialist. You would have made McCarther proud.
Friendsofsoccer, can you let us in on why the Hastings Park proposal was rejected? Was this a case of Kerfoot saying "I will build you a stadium for all to use and I will walk away" or was this a case of Kerfoot saying "I will build you a stadium on the land that was donated to the people of Vancouver, but here is what I want out of it"?
I cannot believe it was the former. It is were, then we all need to hear about it since election time is just around the corner.
If it was the latter, then it comes down to what I said before which earned me the socialist title: "People need to recognize this for what it really is: a business investment and not a wonderful act of philanthropy."
With that being said, I do recognize and thank Kerfoot for all he has donated to soccer in this city, province, and country.
Sincerely,
Dial the Socialist
