That's perhaps just bad business on the city side? I would imagine that because some of the owners have businesses here, they like having a good relationship with other organizations (ie: the city).
Perhaps I am overly optimistic, but I would venture to believe the ownership group has huge vested interests in Calgary doing well and perhaps love Calgary as much as the average citizen?
I see where you're coming from, but perhaps I'm naive enough to not be concerned by it.
