I concur with Bingo's article. It's mathematically impossible for an new arena to be built and operated at a huge loss by owners only. I want the Flames to stay in Calgary. There is a civic aspect to this.

I'm hoping Naheed Nenshi will revisit and take the initiative to get talks rolling and work to get a deal that will work for both sides as soon as possible. It would be an economic boon and help get things moving in the right direction and show good faith.

The not Nenshi vote was still a massive amount and while it's not linked to the arena debate, it means that Nenshi isn't all inclusive, didn't have a huge victory and ought to get to doing the work for the Nenshi and Bill Smith vote, not just the Nenshi vote.
