you have not been talking to the average person in Ed then. biggest waste of money but then thats what Edmonton is knowen for wasting money. They cant finish the transit system or even make what is there work properly. But lets put a over price ugly ice pond in the center of the city and screw up more stuff.As far as the arena getting people off there couch instead they just sit in over priced chairs.. i give ::Nenshi props for having some guts to bad we cant get some in a mayor in Edmonton.
