They would have put hundreds of thousands into the plan so I doubt that was the case. The Sears building wasn't heritage protected anyway, the issue only came up after their initial proposal but in the end the City of Kitchener council let the Ontario Teacher' Pension Plan do what they want with the property. And like with many things the very botched way we shut down the world for a couple years to try and stop the unstoppable resulted in an unprecedented global economic collapse, so Cadillac Fairview is likely in no rush to move forward with this right now.
Sorry, I can't let this off-topic remark slide. Looked at excess deaths from NZ versus Canada versus the US? NZ saved thousands of people.
