Hence the rebuttal on Tuesday, Nenshi holding his presser on Thursday and then another rebuttal by KK yesterday.

The amatur nature this has played out on both sides is frankly a bit shocking. Any corporate business person who is good at what they do, knows you socialize you ideas to stakeholders before you present them. No surprises, a presentation should be a formal review to what has been agreed upon.
Both sides massively failed here. Flames with CalgaryNEXT blindsided council. They bypassed their most important stakeholder to take it to the people and it probably upset council quite a bit.
Not learning from that mistake Nenshi blindsides the Flames on Monday.
We are where we are because both sides are not respecting the other. What really bothers me is how normally smart people have thrown best practice out the window becuase they can't contain themselves and take time to do it right.
There needs to be a reset after the election. My hope is Nenshi and King can do that and get back at it. Enough with the hurt feelings.
