It could be worse

Someone sent me a link that linked to this, which chronicles with text and video, the ... how should I put this? ... perambulations of a mayor and city council in Windsor, Ontario.

(Did you know that Windsor is the only place in Canada that is south of the United States? Yes, Windsor is south of Detroit, MI!)

Anyway, apparently Windsor is building, or contemplating building, another/a new tunnel between itself and Detroit and somehow all information regarding this deal is not being disseminated to the city council, much less the public.

Also, if this all thrills you, check out this link, which was the original sent to me. The councillor who stands up to the mayor (his worship) was apparently once a journalist.

The truth must be dangerous if Council and Administration are resorting to such tactics. The Mayor and Council have a choice. The truth will come out in bits and pieces as it usually does or they can just be transparent and get it over with.


Good advice.

The issue they are discussing is a financial deal between the City of Detroit and the City of Windsor, over which the City of Windsor refuses to release information.

It is about taking ownership over the Detroit side of the existing tunnel using Infrastructure Ontario money to do so.

Chris, Thanks for the clarification. They still use that old tunnel? It was scary 25 years ago, when I lived there ...
