It was pretty obvious that CalgaryNext was never ever going to happen, even on the day it was announced. The financials for the proposed CRL were not even close to making sense.
I have no issue with Nenshi criticizing the plan and how he has handled it with CSEG. When CSEG is intentionally playing dumb because they know the numbers don't work, and the city goes above and beyond up work with the stupid idea, at some point frustration sets in.
So far, the city has been generally on board with the plan B option, and will probably be able to put a little bit of public money in there to help make the project right.
