That is Wynne for you.  Lots of money to spend on the MARs innovation centre - a boondoggle that accomplishes little.  (The "innovation industry" is about holding conferences to discuss what real entrepreneurs (the ones who don't attend conferences)  are doing.)  But nothing to offer Amazon when an open competition for real jobs and real investment is underway.

The city of Toronto has some good people working on this file and some innovative ideas.  Unlike many cities, Toronto does have large tracts of open land in close proximity to downtown.  You can't find that in most desireable US cities.  Win or lose Toronto will have a bid that the city can be proud of.
