Discussion Understanding: Nenshi and Calgary Sports

discussion understanding: As I've said for many, many weeks, the city has never left the table, Nenshi said after his victory speech Monday night, according to CTV. When they're ready to come back to the table and have a discussion understanding this mandate from Calgarians, we are ready and willing to have that discussion with them. A new building for the NHL club became civic election fodder when Calgary Sports and Entertainment pulled out of spectacularly unproductive negotiations within days of Nenshi kicking off his campaign for a third term. Flames president Ken King would not comment on the outcome of the election, a team spokesman said Tuesday. Nenshi has one vote on council -- though his voice carries considerable influence as mayor. An immediate renewal of arena talks seems unlikely, given the personal tone the issue took on. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
