That, I think, is Winnipeg's best chance. It is already known that the American governors aren't interested in Winnipeg, but if the alternative is that they are looking at their own money being lost because Glendale won't cover, they'll probably choose the lesser evil of having someone else risk their money, even if it is in an undesirable market.
Yes. The Mayor has three councillors in her back pocket who would probably vote for anything. Three other councillors will not vote for the deal. It will be a 4-3 vote.

A better case scenario for Glendale (and could happen two Fridays from now) is that they vote to give $100 million out of their $400 million reserve fund to Hulsizer to complete the deal.
