I worked for a Federal/Provincial housing program and we dealt with municipal governments on a regular basis. I'm not surprised one bit by what is happening to Cen and the Lakeshore. Municipal governments are always stoping federal and provincial programs because they love to be in control.

In this case they will do their backdoor politics and work out a deal. Think about it; make a handful of local residence unhappy because you granted zoning license or piss off taxpayers because you let job opportunities go? The choice is clear IMO
