Nenshi has one vote but his position as mayor and the resulting control over the top levels of city management make him very influential. The only time Nenshi does not have the ability to direct how things are going to be, is when a political hot-potato comes down the chute, such as secondary suites. And arenas.
That being said he pretty much has the ability to control the agenda and does-- as a mayor should. He has taken a very reasonable stance with CSEC, and that stance has resonated through the top management of the city.
The CSEC stance was patently unreasonable and a request for a billion dollar hand out.
On another note, why does CPS need to put that mobile command unit outside the dome every game? It strikes me as militaristic and a waste of money.
