Unlike Higgins who stayed and cheered for the game, Nenshi immediately left the building before the game even started!

He is a phony with a smile.
And to those that have umbrage with my previous comment. I didn't say Nenshi should "blow the bank".
But the city will be expected to kick in some portion.
Just like other cities in Canada and the US have and will continue to co exist with their pro franchises.
Huskey Cenovous CNRL or any other O&G company are not comparable. And if you don't think that the Flames and the Stamps are not long time images of Calgary then honestly some of you are a sports fan i definitely can not relate to.
The Dome and McMahon are used for a number of events. Debating that they do not is foolish. But go ahead.
Nenshi has already said he will "does not support any kind of funding to the Flames or Stamps on this subject"
Any future change of his mind is back peddling. Like i said Nenshi will vote against any $ amount the Flames Stamps seek.
You will see
