The mocking tone suggests to me that some would like the Clocktower of the Old City Hall building removed from Victoria Park. I don't. Old building have intrinsic value. All one has to do is look at the amazing repurposing of the ugly, old warehouses along the railway tracks. If those old buildings were torn down we may not have Google, D2L, or any of the start-ups that now populate those 'ugly' buildings. I'm all for new development but not if the past has to be erased.
I'm pretty sure it was just a reference to the Back to the Future movies, at least that's how I read it.
