Earlier, I criticized the Save our St. Clair group for toppling a democratically-based decision on the basis of a legal technicality. It would be hypocritical of me to take delight in a legal technicality that just happened to go my way. There are plenty of good reasons to support the right-of-way project. I honestly believe it is good for the community, and vital for the future health of the City of Toronto.
