A canal with no federal grant monies, an airport hub with no investors and now a cultural hub or Center?? Did not the W.S.O., have to ask for a financial bail out last year? And, The U of W. is cash strapped after increasing professor’s salaries 30% last year. Where on God’s green earth is 30 million dollars for this fantasy ‘cultural hub’ going to come from? It appears that our elected officials will attempt to paint a prettier picture than reality, when it comes to election time and saving their own jobs, benefits and pensions.
Imagine a ‘cultural hub’ in a lunch bucket town, that has lost it’s lunch. Windsor is well known, notorious even, but not for it’s culture. It is known for it’s strip bars, crime, casino, massage parlors, prostitution, numerous bars, gambling and street fights. Now, who in their right mind would imagine ‘culture’ in a city infamous for: vomit, vagrants, and violence? Windsor is well known, far and wide, as ‘Sin City North’ and it’s an embarrassment! Our glorious City of Roses licenses prostitutes, pimps and has more bars per square mile, per population density than Las Vegas and New Orleans! Windsor’s idea people, may want to rethink their marketing.
The status quo is not working, and neither is Windsor. If Windsor does not change direction, it will soon become the Flint, Michigan of Canada!

The Capitol Theater cannot even afford to stay open, how indeed will a supposed cultural hub survive?
