That won't happen because the city is the executor. If it goes to court, Wonham and company can pay the city's costs when they lose.

I believe they could cost the city significantly in legal fees if they challenge it. At that point i wonder if the citizens of windsor get out the torches and pitchforks.

Since the city is the executor, that's not likely to happen. Therefore, this group is irrelevent. According to documents filed with Revenue Canada, the directors are Wonham, Linda Balga and Eric Buchholzer.

It's the same way I consider myself lucky to not have hoarded a lot of crap - it's because my house is tiny and anything beyond our essentials would take up valuable real estate. The thing I fear is that we don't have a culture that can ever be content. We value things over experiences and that will be our downfall.

Rome, Athens and Paris will still be livable, functioning cities in an energy-scarce future while Calgary, Vancouver and Phoenix won't have any future in an energy-scarce future. That's because the great cities of Europe were important cultural, business and political centres even before Columbus discovered the new world while North America's great cities were products of the fossil-fuel era.
