Nenshi can't go back to the Flames and give them anything to come back to the table, he pretty much put a hard stamp on that during his campaign
In order to start a negotiation you have to have a common interest that brings both sides to the table. There isn't a common interest.
I would expect that in the next couple of weeks the Flames will re-iterate that they're not talking about a new building anymore.
