Is public opinion about ION really as negative as local social media seems to indicate? I understand the construction has been a huge pain in the ass for KW drivers and most people won't actually use it, and based on the results of the last two elections it isn't a huge issue for most voters. However, CTV and The Record try their damnest to drum up controversy whenever possible, and it seems like showing even the slightest bit of support makes you stand out so much you become a target for online bullying. It just makes me feel very disheartened that so few people have anything positive to say, even in places like the Waterloo subreddit. It's always the same tired old nonsense.
