Does Diotte have a better plan for arena or not? He’s yet to announce one.
Mayoral candidate Kerry Diotte has come out with a provocative advertisement that highlights his opposition to the Edmonton arena deal.
In the ad spot, Diotte says: “The deal the city signed stinks,” Diotte says. “We will finance it, we will build it, we will own it and yet we won’t get one red cent of profit for it.”
It’s certainly a clear statement of disgust from Diotte but it’s hard to square how he dislikes the arena deal so much, yet in the press conference where he announced he was running for Mayor, Diotte made it clear that if elected he won’t work to kill the deal.
“There was a democratic vote,” he said. “I think we’re bound by it.”
