This is the danger of Danielle Smith trying to grab everyone's pension funds to use as the "business case."
Dumping it on Indigenous people to do the fighting because he doesn't want the fallout of just saying NO is so Liberal.

Meanwhile, Ford is rushing to grab control of large parts of Exhibition Place, too.
Long range forecast: the Therme project will collapse and Ford will "have to" sell off all the leases and land to developers to recoup the costs.
"No one could have seen this coming."

What a nonsense proposal! What about the self-employed & gig workers? What about those who are already just barely getting by?
Blaming people for not saving enough in this economy is something only a wealthy banker with no grasp of reality would do.
