Who is in charge of Sutcliffe’s comms strategy?
Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe responds to popular local women’s hockey team saying his plan might ruin them by linking them to the LA Dodgers
“Sutcliffe called the PWHL statements to CBC News a negotiating tactic from ‘big powerful American businesspeople … They’re the people who own the LA Dodgers’”

Who is in charge of Sutcliffe’s comms strategy?
I think it's probably fair to boo Sutcliffe if he attends any Charge games this year

Which comms strategist thought pitting a library against Landsdowne was a good idea?
The CBC Ottawa Morning Lansdowne interview with the Mayor is wild. He just compared the way we don't require library buildings to turn a profit so we should not expect Lansdowne to make money.
Dude, the whole agreement of the waterfall agreement is to lower risk and increase revenue.
