Both have lived in Oakville for ever and are fully engrained into the political fabric in Oakville, especially that part of it south of the QEW. I am assuming you are not a resident of Ward 2. I would just say that there has not been an issue of significance in the ward that would distract a ward member enough from their own economic activities to oppose the status quo. The closest we came to civil unrest was the unhappiness over how the fate of Brantwood School and its property was decided.
I fully respect the owners of 171 and the wish and ability to run their business. As it stands they have a reputation for screening indie films and the like, and that is not found everywhere.
But it would be a lost opportunity if we cannot somehow, begin to turn this underutilized strip mall and parking lot (which I believe, if my memory serves me correctly, once housed a movie theater as well - currently Shopper's) into a more vibrant community , and take advantage of the linkages to both the GO and Kerr Street Village.
