It's a question if philosophy.

When it comes to questioning funding for arts Nenshi condescending dismisses us as "short sighted".

But when it comes to projects that will enhance the city and project strength and greatness Nenshi turns around and looks after tax payer.

This project is not even about the Flames. It's about what kind of city we want to have. Do we want to be a major player or continue to be a tier two city?

As a tax payer, I am prepared to pay for this.
