I was excited to read earlier this evening that a local business person has offered a building to the province for use for the local medical school (which needs a building before it can open).
I then got a knot in my stomach when I read he was doing this as a political statement with our Deputy Mayor Michelle Hooton at his side. Hooton is running for mayor against incumbent Norm McFarlane who is very supportive of the medical school and against Ivan Court the councilor who has worked on the health portfolio. Not only is she an odd choice for that, Ms. Hooton ran a nasty campaign against the current Minister of Post-Secondary Education when she was supposed to be acting as deputy mayor.
Hopefully this offer is legitimate and Hooton's sorted political past won't put a taint on this if the idea is a good one.
