Since we do not have an active Downtown Arena thread yet...

Has anyone else noticed Star Phoenix Murray Mandryck's personal crusade to get the downtown arena project dumped??!! He has published a series of 'opinion pieces' against the project and more recently as been encouraging citizens to initiate a plebiscite to force the arena decision to a vote. This has also resulted in a series of 'letters to the editor' supporting his views. His reporting has not been very balanced.

I am all for everyone expressing their opinions freely, but perhaps those of us who may actually support this kind of development for our city need to be a bit more vocal. As always....those that oppose, always seem to be the more motivated to be heard.

I would encourage supporters on here to, at minimum, remind your city councilor of your support and maybe submit a letter to the editor of Star Phoenix to balance out the opinions! I have!!
