What some of you mistake for Nenshi's arrogance is a leader standing up for Calgarians.
The timbre of Nenshi's response is proportionate to the way Bettman and King are trying to manipulate this public discussion. Bettman and King can't answer simple questions about their own project.
The fact that Bettman can't give David Gray a straight answer in
this interview—not even a shred of concrete information—says everything about this proposal. It gets especially slippery at 6:00 into the clip.
