Renegade Blogger Alert!

Man, I hope the Windsor Star reels in Monica Wolfson. She is - oh my god! - questioning the leadership of City Hall! Watch her blog get pulled very shortly.

Only this time, I'm not backing her up. She's talking out of her butt on this issue, advocating the Engineering school move out to the suburbs. Thanks a lot, Sprawlica!

So why be shortsighted? And why fold to local political pressure that isn't exactly putting the students, university or industry first in its demands. I see some of the best land opportunities out by the airport or in other industrial areas off Malden Road - but what do I know?

Yes, Sprawlica, what do you know? You don't think the residents of this community should have some say as to how the University develops. Funny, they didn't mind taking a weekly withdrawal (for 5 years, BTW) from my Ford/CAW paycheque for their new CAW Student Centre? Plus, you are arguing out of both sides of your mouth, saying a 3 km hike is too far for these students to trek, and then advocating for a much longer commute out to the airport.

I hope they listen to the people who know something about building technical facilities and not people who have lots to say with little to no substance backing them up.

Just ask, Sprawlica. We can back up every word we say.

P.S. SDW backs a different campus for the downtown location - say a relocated Lebel building or law school. However, we definitely don't want to perpetuate a sprawling, exurban land use cancer.
