[All] Municipal Merger talks are offically OVER

[Robert Milligan]

If one side does not wish to talk, then no talks. But perhaps the  
Kitchener results suggest that many in Kitchener -- as with many  
surrounding cities like Guelph, Stratford, Brantford, even Cambridge  
-- have benefited (mostly university campus-wise) &/or would want to  
benefit more from the Waterloo brand with its great innovation  
potential. So to help make an even bigger innovation "splash in the  
World" than a K-W merger, I have suggested the IDEA of a Greater  
Waterloo Innovation District that would include WR, G, S, B, W & their  
counties. It could be the participatory internet "vehicle" wherein  
politicians, staff, citizens and other organizations operate a  
Collaborative IDEAS Culture. Here we  would use IDEAS to reduce(+)  
taxes and improve services (part of a Smart Government Approach) as we  
re-invent/design/plan a viable interrelated (to the World) future.

I had expressed this IDEA of a Greater Waterloo Innovation District   
in my last interview with Jeff Outhit for his (and the Record's)  
latest "discredit Robert" article. His interpretation of this IDEA was  
"an 'innovation district' for area communities", a rather vague  
conception. I will be picking myself up and continuing my quest.
