I was thinking about

voting Wild Rose in the upcoming Provincial election but after hearing Smith say supporting any funding for a downtown Oiler arena and the new Royal Alberta museum is not on their agenda, I immediately did an about face and said "No!" We're not voting for her. I'd even vote NDP if they said they would at least look into it. 

The Edmonton Journal on the front page this morning said that in a recent poll from a marketing group here in Edmonton, 67% of Edmontonians said they would rather have the LRT go to Mill Woods then to a new downtown Arena for the Oiler's. The poll surveyed in 3 days this week 1,215 "Albertan's" (I recon a special interest group with a Mill Woods agenda probably hired the marketing group to do the "survey" and said call into the Mill Woods area. They do this to try and sway public opinion. "Well if 67 % said no it must be a bad idea." The poll also said about 30% said they would support the arena. But that's just out of 1,215 polled. Personally I don't think the LRT to Mill Woods is as much as a necessity as the LRT to West Edmonton Mall. obviously if you live in Mill Woods having the LRT go through there would be a good idea, anything else that would take funding away from that is a bad idea. The Journal is a leftest media anyway. The article this morning is biased. 

Over the weekend I'm going to be looking for any candidate in the 2012 election who's platform is sympathetic to the arena. anyway, that's about all for now.
