Wow, this is not the news I wanted to hear when starting to get excited about training camp. I thought that CalgaryNext was dead and we would be hearing an announcement in a couple months after the election that a compromise had been reached for a Vic Park arena which allowed some public funding but no where near the extent of the Edmonton deal.
This has been a complete PR disaster for the Flames from delaying a proposal while the economy was booming, their pathetic CalgaryNext proposal, and now trying to influence the election. As someone who no longer lives in Calgary and doesn't care how the city spends money I should be on the side of the Flames on this one but have been firmly pushed to the side of Nenshi. Edwards needs to sell his share in the team and King needs to be fired.
