[QUOTE=Bobblehead;Tough to know how Calgary will respond when you get prominent Calgarians saying to allow the sale would be similar to the NEP.

Murray Edwards lauded the decision too. It would have been political suicide to allow this takeover. Considering the TSX had its best day in more than two years it would seem to be a sound move. On another note, god, what a great day for my gold stock!!!!!
