The majority on this Flames friendly forum, object to CalgaryNEXT as it's proposed today. I'd imagine the regular fare going public, will object to it in even higher numbers.

How were Vancouver, Toronto & Montreal accommodated in this regard?
Can someone objectively answer, why the City should be offering public monies to CS&E?
I already stated, they'd be absolute fools to move.
