Kind of the thing we're trying to avoid in this particular situation.
And again, I dont think anyone, including Nenshi, has a problem with public money going into an arena, its just a question of 'how much' and 'for what public benefit.'
Plus its only like 10 minutes from Downtown!

I think this is personal to Nenshi in that he wants to be known as the Mayor that didn't cave in to an NHL team. I also think he's smart enough that he would never want his legacy tainted to be remembered as the mayor that lost the Calgary's NHL team. I simply think this is the way he operates and lets not forget he's only one vote. I still feel it's going to happen and this back and forth stuff is simply part of the process.
