Yeah, the permit is far less the issue than the money to build and run the school. They seem to think there could possibly be a way to get funding from the feds or something but I don't see how you can run a university campus without the province's involvement.
Seems to be obvious, stupid, short-sighted thinking - and all 3 campuses were in PC ridings too. Or maybe Brampton's is NDP but then Patrick Brown is there now so it's a good target either way. I'm presuming they won't be getting refunds on the money they've spent prepping to date and whatever contracts may have been signed will be cancelled but as we saw back in the Mike Harris days, the PCs aren't afraid to spend a few hundred million not building something.
Anyway, big loss for Markham and York Region (and likely for York and Seneca).
