Essentially, "scary big building being built close to old building, run for your lives!"
'Save the clock tower! SAVE THE CLOCK TOWER!!!'
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.
