You don't have to like it, you don't have to think public money should be in it, but don't let those points sway you into painting everything with a negative brush.

They presented their idea, which was a joke, and there was no plan B. Perhaps you don't want to define that as take or leave it. Maybe "Take it because we've got nothing else, because we fully expected everyone to just eat this up" ?
The mayor's comments aren't ideal from a professionalism standpoint, I'll grant that. However, the Flames can talk all they want about starting point and dialogue after the fact but they came with their "fully baked" idea and immediately went public with it without any of this seemingly important dialogue. so it's a little late to try and treat CalgaryNEXT like it was some collaboration.
