Based on King's interview from a few weeks ago, it's clear they're trying to whip up support for public financing. The Flames feel the negative side gets too much press, and that they need to motivate supporters to write to their politicians, speak up in the media, etc.
Problem is, both King and Burke are tone-deaf, and don't seem to understand how patronizing and entitled their comments come across. I'd chalk that up to too much time golfing and going out for dinner with well-heeled corporate chums, and a blithe detachment from how average Calgarians feel about this issue.
