| Description | A furious Mayor Stephen Mandel ripped into the federal government Monday after learning it won't support Edmonton's bid to host Expo 2017.
He pinned the blame squarely on Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose, the region's representative in cabinet, saying she didn't do enough to sell the project to her colleagues.
"I was repeatedly in Ottawa, and every single MP I talked to said, 'If your minister wants this, it will happen.' It didn't happen," he told a news conference.
"Our minister was not able to convey the right message to the members of Parliament, to the members of caucus ... It's her fault, her responsibility. It lies at her feet." |
