"Threatening to move the Flames could be an effective tactic to convince Calgarians to part with their tax dollars, according to New York based author and investment analyst Martin Fridson."
I think the tactic is amateur and will backfire for a good % of people - as shown in the poll results. You want to leave? Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I just wish the Flames could hire a PR person with a better grasp of the reality of the current economy, both in the city and the province. Thousands of jobs lost and wages stagnant for those still employed. Seems like Ken King has no concept of reality for the majority of Calgarians right now and the timing of his threat (Flames making playoffs) is interesting.
