Calgary Alderman Craig Burrows says that a deal with the Tsuu T’ina First Nation on the city’s road network should have come before that nation started talking about a location for the casino. He also says that the city will have to find other bargaining techniques to ensure the southwest ring road is built. A Tsuu T’ina spokesperson maintains that the proposed casino and road deal are separate issues although negotiations with the city on both projects have been going well.
