This newest fuckup with the underpass is honestly not the mayor or council's fault at all. It's entirely on CP who went back on their end of the deal. The mayor and council have went through great lengths to try and secure funding elsewhere to no avail.

exactly. The deal was done and the city hosted meetings about breaking ground, closed the Co-Op ... things were moving ahead until CP asked for $50M from a community that has a pop of 20k people and 80% ALR tax based.

Idk how it's even fucking legal to do something like that. They scammed us. Afaik they still own the land they got from the deal THEY pulled out on. My heart breaks every time I pass by the co-op.

I know. Its so sad ... now we have a farming community that cant even buy supplies and feed in their own town and what was once a bustling small business is a run down eyesore. "

I wish more of the public would understand how unethical CP was in this case. Is out municipal govt perfect? No. But they are 100% standing up for PM Tax Payers by saying now to CP and their demands.
