I suppose Calgary needs better management but I don't know what they can do at this point. I certainly hope Ken King and Flames ownership don't need their hands held through this process that much.

Come up with a viable plan and the city will work with you in it. Come up with something that isn't and they won't. That's fair.
Well I haven't liked King in this either so in that we agree.

Other than that I guess we disagree.

The city has an issue in the West Village, they have an expressed with for a Fieldhouse, and now a hint at an Olympic bid that will require new facilities.

I think a little more than "nope" would be expected in a proposal and negotiation.
