Burke's idiotic, arrogant comments today no doubt turned some people right off again.

IMO, i think the Flames either A) made a big miscalculation on the appetite of taxpayers on the giant CalgaryNext project or B) that was a red herring proposal that was used to set the bar really high so that a new arena alone wouldn't seem "that expensive" in comparison.
Either way, I don't think Calgarians are 100% against it - obviously there are extremes on either end of the continuum. Burke's comments definitely didn't help those leaning towards saying No however...but that will probably reset by tomorrow or the weeks to come
I think it becomes a question of determining what is a "fair or reasonable" number for the taxpayers...
