OK guys uncle ... were just going in circles.
I've been disappointed in both sides, stated that clearly but answering 11 different people hell bent sticking up for the mayor and the city gets tiresome.
My summary for those that missed it ...
Quote:
-I think Nenshi is a wanker
-I think King is a blowhard
-I think they both like themselves more than the actual project or their jobs
-I think its a pretty normal ask from the owners for public money as that's what Edmonton and a host of other Canadian cities have done.
-I think the city has every right to deny it.
-I think the answer will largely come in with some public money, and a host of other elements much less than what the Flames are looking for.
-I think a mayor trying to land an olympics at the same time he thwarts a building project is odd
-I think the Flames meant well with CalgaryNext as a way to develop the west side and get the city some wins in the process.
-I think they did a terrible job of how they presented it, as I feel a "this is why we think it fits" presentation would have gone a lot further than the "you need to do this because Calgary needs it" approach.
-I think the city wants a building in East Village and because of that they will have to kick in
-If they don't I think we'll see a building towards Langdon funded by the team completely which nobody wants
