I,am rolling on the floor laughing at burkes suggestion that hockey players should get a tax break because they have a short career.....someone should let Burke know that if you were to work for 45 years in Canada and you were to average $100,000 per year, you will gross $4,500,000. But lots of people would make nowhere near that

I am certain the lowest paid NHL player would make what $700,000 US - so he only needs to get in 4 seasons to make his $4,000,000 Canadian......yeah, hockey players need tax breaks....insert head banging against wall emoticon.

The flames have bungled this arena thing royally...they need to ask for a mulligan and start all over. Nenshi and the councillors need to determine how much they are prepared to give, and tell everyone that number, so that a rationale dialog can take place.
