Actually, I bet if you tweeted Nenshi, you would have a decent chance of getting a response. I love people bitching about his childish waste of time on twitter...for every silly thing that happens there, he probably has 50 interactions with citizens that are informative and beneficial. I'm okay with him 'wasting' hours on twitter dealing with actual citizens, rather than wasting time gladhanding Bettman.

Did you listen to his radio interview? Did you see/listen to Nenshi's comments, or just read them. They come across worse in print than in context IMO.

I don't dispute that, but I don't see why we wouldn't update our existing facilities to remain a leader in the unique amateur sports we are already a hub for. Certainly the field house would benefit those athletes too, but I don't know that a project of this scale is necessary to 'support amateur sport'.
