Is Golf The ONLY Thing That Matters In Lotusland?

So.

Turns out that it wasn't just the UBC Golf Course that was/is in play:

VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) Nov 11/o7
The Musqueam band now has some prime real estate on its hands after Friday's land deal with the provincial government.

But the band is looking at developing land it already owns.

The future of the University Golf Club has been secured until 2083 under the settlement.

But the lease on the nearby Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club expires in 2033.

The course sits on 162 acres of prime waterfront property, which the Musqueam own.

The club has already bought a new course in Richmond, with the intention of moving there once the Shaughnessy lease expires.

For now, the band will explore development options for the settlement lands, along with the Shaughnessy course lands, through a community consultation process.


Hmmmmm........

Could it be that Block "F" (a.k.a. 'The Heart') of Pacific Spirit Park was really designed to be a sop to save another set of fairways?

Naw.

The LINO's would never try to pull a double-switch like that.

Would they?
