So you'd be happy with the city making a counter offer of:

No CRL.

No Fieldhouse (because they want to dictate where it goes, the timeline, don't want a pro sports team using it).

CSEC has to buy the land.


Then what are we left with? What the hell is the point of the counter-offer?



Yes the Flames copied the Oilers proposal and tacked on $200M more. But it doesn't work. They should have known that. I say again, it is a complete non-starter that it was included in the first place. It doesn't deserve a counter. It simply deserved a flat-out 'No.'
