I get the impression King thinks there are two kinds of people in this city:
1) The affluent executive types he glad-hands on the golf course. These are the people he expects to buy up the luxury boxes at a new arena. They don't need to be told the score when it comes to this kind of negotiation.
2) The credulous rubes who read the Sun, aka "Martha and Joe." He's trying to exploit their devotion to the Flames in order to put pressure on city hall. And if they don't get onboard, they need to be scolded like stubborn children.
Most Calgarians are neither. They don't have memberships at the Glencoe Club, but they also don't like being talked down to. Which is why I expect most Calgarians find his way of expressing himself insufferably patronizing and off-putting.
