The mayor can be trusted no more and no less than the Flames, the difference being, he is a lot better at this.

Completely agree. The astroturfing On this subject is admirable. There are several posters who have non-existent posting histories in threads un-related to the business of the arena. They post nowhere else, or very just token contributions, yet they lead the charge here. They are very clear in their intent and they maintain extreme message discipline, never giving an inch or acknowldgement of anything positive on the other side of the argument. The issue has been distilled to a black and white argument where there are good guys and bad guys. This is some Tea Party level astroturfing. Have to give them credit, they have been extremely effective in the execution of their duties and have built a firewall of posters who will die on the hills they have manufactured.
