Waterloo Region Council Election Discussion

He did propose specifically a teaching hospital, though. And in the context of making this a world-class city, similar to the provision of high-speed rail, so I take both of those as worthy long-term objectives.

Aissa wants to make an election issue out of that, though. In spite of the fact that the region has no power to establish a new hospital.

I'm in complete agreement. I think Aissa is likely pandering to Litt's audience by touching on the topic, and generally folks (I include myself here) don't have very clear understanding of whose responsibility such a thing would be. Aissa gets to say it will be a focus of his and there's a lot of people outside of Kitchener and Waterloo who would very reasonably think "yeah, another hospital with ready access for the townships would be great!"
