I think Markusoff is just trying to generate some controversy here (as usual). The article states that the Flames have met with the mayors office numerous times and sounds like their discussions have been lengthy and productive. It probably just got to a point where the Flames realize that they aren't going to get the level of public funds they are looking for and that would be why the city is no longer closely involved in the details.

Don't get me wrong I think there will be future discussions around how the City could be involved, just not at the level of controversy that the cherry picked quotes from this article suggest.
