The most amazing thing is that no one in the media covering this has even casually suggested that maybe Ken King shouldn't have his job. Imagine what he could have gotten away with with 100 dollar oil and Bronconier. |
I've said the same thing numerous times. $100 Oil, Bronconnier and a Conservative Government flush with cash? They might have stood a shot at getting CalgaryNEXT.
Even Edmonton at least got in 'Before the Fall' and even then they're a Government town, so its a different ball game.
They sat at the card table too long and all of a sudden their hand became worthless on the flop.
