I know it's not an easy thought when the economy is bust, but a new arena would be such a boost to Calgary's economy, in the long run. Music and entertainment already bypass Calgary, since the Saddledome is a joke, and if a new arena isn't built everyone will head north instead.

This has become a vote for the "best" mayor or the best team in the world.

If Nenshi isn't willing to actually work with the Flames, I'm not so sure he's a good mayor.

Vote for Nenshi: In 20 years Calgary won't have Nenshi or the Flames

Vote for Flames: I know it's not this simple, but I would rather see the Flames in Calgary for 100+ years. I hope someone who fights to see an arena deal, that actually works for both sides, becomes the new mayor.
