The media always like to stir things up, but the Flames have been laying the groundwork for "debate" for a while now. Just read these comments by Burke from a few months ago.

These comments try to make it seem like there's some great controversy about needing a new building, and act like there is some great force trying to prevent it. The Flames were trying to create discussion, and to get people on their side before anyone even knew of any details.
Nobody is stopping them from building an arena. Nobody is saying it's a bad idea. So why the need for strong words to fight for it? If you feel so strongly about your building needing to be replaced, it shouldn't take 7 years to make it happen. You walk down to City Hall and file a development permit application!
