I don't blame them.

These kinds of statements are just idiotic, prices of oil will go up(they are down because of politics, not demand and when those that are playing politics with oil suffer, the oil prices will go up).
As for "this province will be on life support in a few decades", no it won't be, in a few decades this province will diversify it's economy and won't depend on oil that much.
As for the team moving, where the #### are they going to move it? This is not happening.
The team and the city will get a new arena, the CalagryNext was just a smokescreen, the real project was this one, the Victoria Park. The Flames knew that there is no way, the city and province, would pay $1 Billion for a new hockey stadium(NFL stadiums cost that much money and the NFL is in another universe than the NHL.)
The Calgary Flames will get a good deal out of this and the city will promise to develop the area around the new stadium.
