[CHIMO]

That we may be missing a major point here. Take a look at King Klein's comments last night(if you can find it, where he lashed out at Ann M).
What is he so angry about.
Could it be a case of the thin edge of the wedge?
Martin is promising to give a certain amount of the gas tax to the cities. Harper is going to give a certain amount to the proviences.
Martin is giving back the GST to the cities. The cities are in full agreement with this.
My opinion.
It looks like "City States" to me. If you want to prevent my ideas and outlook then I will do an end run. Everyone wants more power at the bottom.
Guess what it is being offered here and we are starting to see a reaction to it.
Anyways my opinion. Has anyone looked at this way?
