Mandel & crew frantically trying to get #yegarena started before election. Gotta pay back their bagman Katz. Redford will too. #lameby neal_gray via twitter 1/23/2013 6:45:43 PM -
Henderson says he's worried about what happens to #yegarena area when there are no games, concerts. #yegccby Paulatics via twitter 1/23/2013 6:45:56 PM

Some of our city councilors really need to re-evaluate what is best for this city long term. Build the effing arena! #yegarenaby MSmitty25 via twitter 1/23/2013 6:46:02 PM -
#yegcc members without any other job prospects seem the most nervous. Good. #yegarenaby Mimi Williams via twitter 1/23/2013 6:46:09 PM -
It's so sad when millionaires have to play hockey in an arena that's a little old. Public money is the only solution. #yegarenaby craddo via twitter 1/23/2013 6:46:12 PM -
Discussion on minutiae of #yegarena includes debate on "pedestrian penetration" #livingthedreamby Dean Bennett via twitter 1/23/2013 6:46:16 PM -
Agree w/ @ben_hen: Ensure proper connectivity from downtown to north side : street activation, quality urban design. #yegarena #yegcc #yegby chrisbuyze via twitter 1/23/2013 6:46:35 PM -
#yegcc required by law to have a hearing for CRL. Does Farbrother not know this? Why doesn't he? #yegarenaby Mimi Williams via twitter 1/23/2013 6:46:55 PM

Sloan worried there isn't detailed financial analysis before #yegcc , to let them make a decision now. #yegarena #yegccby Paulatics via twitter 1/23/2013 6:47:01 PM
-
Farbrother says not in a position to provide #yegcc with a detailed analysis of how Katz will preform in year 33. #yegarena #yegccby JasFranklin09 via twitter 1/23/2013 6:47:04 PM

RT @agrabia: Shawn Horcoff must have a real fetish for attending meetings where people are offered terrible deals by NHL owners. #yegarenaby David Staples via twitter 1/23/2013 6:47:15 PM
-
Oh my goodness, #yegcc Sloan…really. #yegarenaby femaleparent via twitter 1/23/2013 6:47:29 PM -
Farbrother says since Katz Group must operate #yegarena, it takes risk away from city. Risk is mitigated. #yegccby Paulatics via twitter 1/23/2013 6:47:33 PM
-
.@Paulatics Of course not. What does she think this is, a democracy? #yegarenaby neal_gray via twitter 1/23/2013 6:47:40 PM
-
Farbrother says looked at this from risk mitigation point of view rather than what Katz Group making years done road #yegarena #yegccby JasFranklin09 via twitter 1/23/2013 6:47:48 PM

When Mandel directed Administration to do the worst possible job, they certainly exceeded all expectations. #yegarenaby CommonSenseSoc via twitter 1/23/2013 6:47:49 PM -
Sloan: maybe we could just throw things at people for a few hours or so?

Here comes #yegarena fearmonger @brentrathgeberby FUJICLIMBER via twitter 1/23/2013 6:48:24 PM -
Sloan wants to know about other costs to city, for things like drainage work necessary to support new growth. #yegarena #yegccby Paulatics via twitter 1/23/2013 6:48:37 PM
-
Along with a CRL hearing, Sloan is correct. The borrowing bylaw would need a hearing. Both plebiscite/referendum triggers. #yegcc #yegarenaby Mimi Williams via twitter 1/23/2013 6:48:41 PM

Council Member Sloan, we know what you're trying to do. You're really sad. Hope you don't re-relected. #yegarenaby tadmanc via twitter 1/23/2013 6:49:47 PM -
I wish the city worked half as hard pushing through wlrt as the #yegarena. Who cares about constituents when hockey is on the line.by runsamok via twitter 1/23/2013 6:50:45 PM -
Can always tell when Farbrother lies or manipulates the truth when he starts sentences with "So..." #yegarenaby CommonSenseSoc via twitter 1/23/2013 6:51:10 PM

Billionaire owners fresh off of striking for a better deal certainly deserve of the sympathy hockey fans can muster. #yegarenaby craddo via twitter 1/23/2013 6:51:14 PM

Sloan also wants to see a financial analysis of this new agreement's impact on the finances of Rexall and Northlands. #yegarena #yegccby Paulatics via twitter 1/23/2013 6:51:15 PM
