Malls won't bring more shoppers to local stores

After the mega malls open, and my uncle's small business dies a slow death, I can advise him, as Gail Munro so thoughtfully and articulately advised, to "suck it up" and get on with it.

Not to worry uncle, the masses are on their way to our town of Tsawwassen to shop! They are leaving the highway to drive even further "to see what Tsawwassen is all about."

Good Lord, nobody is coming to shop here now. I cannot imagine, when the mega malls beckon, this will change.

Hate to burst your bubble, Munro, but there is a reason it is called "ferry traffic." People are travelling and are not interested in spending precious vacation time in one of Tsawwassen's meager malls.
