West extension through Halton opened in Summer 2001. Extending the highway west to QEW (and east to Brock rd) was part of the lease agreement that was signed. There was even a penalty clause if they didn't open extensions by a certain date.

Those weren't taxes being mandated and collected by the government (they already have a municipal accommodation tax). They are line items being added being the owners, with names like "improvement tax' or "tourism fee", etc. This could definitely be regulated and cracked down on if the...

Tough to get enough out of tourism to completely finance construction of some type of mass transit system. They could implement a hotel tax. ~16,000 rooms in Niagara Falls = 5.84MM nights x 50% occupancy* x $5 flat tax/night = ~$14.6MM/yr. Occupancy number is a total assumption. Hotel taxes are...

I have experienced this a lot. My parents immigrated from Portugal, and Italy. We have been back, and I often have that feeling of connection to the culture, the people and the land. It helps that I am first generation born here, so the family culture we have here is similar to the culture back...

https://globalnews.ca/news/9884252/ontario-auditor-general-report-developers-greenbelt-land-removal/ My guess is that the 1 recommendation not being recommended is the largest - reevaluating the changes to the Greenbelt boundaries.

There you have it. They don't care.

Great report. This was all so obvious to anyone in the construction industry, but it's excellent to see it investigated thoroughly. Now hopefully we can hold the government accountable, but I'm not holding my breath. Plenty of PC party supporters are developer cucks. That the corruption in...

There are quite a few properties in Oakville between Trafalgar and Maple Grove that are within the floodplain of Morrison Creek and Wedgewood Creek. There was supposedly going to be a lawsuit about it, but I have not seen much about that in a while.

I would say Kerr. There is no grocery store in downtown Oakville at all. Plenty of people here in Kerr Village do not have vehicles.

263 Kerr was previously the Oakville Seniors Centre. It was demolished early this year.

His comment makes no sense. Landlords like to do this, especially in buildings with long-established tenants, because it helps justify rent increases due to capital expenditures.

Obviously there are all kinds of people who can succeed. I am not trying to say otherwise. I don't know this guy they hired, and don't really have an opinion on him. I simply have an issue with certain criticism and generalizations that don't make sense to me. However, I would like to point out...

So here is a thing - I can think of almost zero situations where a company CEO would have the time to delve into the nitty gritty of the specifications likely that. That is a waste of their time. They should be hiring experienced technical staff to review bid proposals against their own...

I can understand that and definitely that is not a good trait to have as a manager. The challenge is that the role at the "top" in construction/development is very, very different than that of operations and technical staff. The skills and experience required are not the same. To pretend it is...

That's quite the generalization. This isn't a tech company trying to sell a product. Running a large infrastructure development operation requires more experience in contract management, law, procurement, negotiation, and finance than it does managing technical aspects of the...

It all depends on the person. I've worked for the CEO/President who came up in the field, and the ones who have not. Sometimes the ones with the background get "lost in the weeds", when they should be tending the acreage. Sometimes those people are amazing. Sometimes it is better to have an...

VIA HFR Inc's job is basically going to be managing procurement, and then holding their contractor/operator accountable. All the technical is being done by the consortiums as I understand it. So if this fellow has experience in managing those kind of processes - and that process at high level is...

You are all overestimating the requirements from the c-suite. The CEO doesn't need to be a railroad guy. The most important thing is you hire a leader who knows how to hire, motivate, and support the best people/experts to do the job.
