Not at all.
But to take months to come back with a different cost assessment that gives CalgaryNEXT all the infrastructure costs (lame) and then say look at plan B only to just unilaterally kill it is pretty weak.
I guess I have to say it again.
I think the project was too robust.
I didn't like King's presentation of it.
I did think it was an opportunity for the city to respond to with changes.
They failed to do that.
That's not constructive.
I don't care if Calgarynext lives on at all.
But I'd prefer to have a mayor that isn't about the quote and is more about the substance.
