Quote: ‘I always thought it would be amazing to have the Senators play in LeBreton Flats, but I don’t know if that’s even possible anymore. The excitement of having a major sporting event downtown — Lansdowne Park is a perfect example — it’s just so good for the local economy’ – Tom Green, on being asked what he would like to see changed in Ottawa. [Ottawa]
